Cap'n Hook accused of soliciting to murder
2004-10-19
Muslim cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri has been charged with 16 offences including soliciting to murder and possession of a terrorist document. He appeared at the magistrates' court at Belmarsh prison, where he has been since May at the request of the US. The UK charges mean Mr Abu Hamza's US extradition hearing on terror-related matters - due to start on Tuesday - has been put on hold. The Egyptian-born cleric has always denied any involvement in terrorism.

Mr Abu Hamza now faces 10 charges of soliciting to murder and four charges of using threatening, abusive or insulting behaviour with intent to stir up racial hatred. He has also been charged with one count each of possessing a terrorist document and possessing threatening, abusive or insulting sound recordings. Just one of the charges he faces is under anti-terrorism legislation. The former preacher at the Finsbury Park Mosque, in north London, came to the UK in 1979. He received British citizenship after marrying a Western woman.

#2  The Finsbury Park mosque is an Islamist septic tank, and al-Masri has been the chief muckraker for nearly a decade. While it appears the U.K. has moved to interdict the U.S. extradition request, it is also possible that the U.S. has urged the U,K. to keep this spitball on ice for a few years.

#1  "BBC home affairs correspondent Andy Tighe said the complexity of the case meant it was unlikely to come to trial before next year" At the end of all that I imagine he well get a whopping 2 or 3 years in jail due to his "phyical condition" and my even be bailed or put on home arrest.

I see they mentioned a document that would be useful for terrorism but never specifically call this waste of human skin a terrorist. The BBC is a waste of RF energy and Bandwith. Call a spade a spade or get out of the way.

Selles del al-Masr-Masr de Abu Hamza con los cerdos.
