Abu Hamza trial
 
Well we suffered his obnoxious and destructive presence for far too long so I for one am looking forward to seeing him get a taste of US style justice.

A radical Muslim cleric who served seven years in a British prison had "used the cover of religion" to hide his part in a global terror campaign, a prosecutor in New York has said.

Opening statements in the trial of Abu Hamza al-Masri began on Thursday.

Abu Hamza, 55, denies 11 terrorism charges including providing support to al-Qaeda and trying to set up an al-Qaeda training camp in Oregon.

He was jailed in Britain for inciting murder and racial hatred.
I'm hoping he gets a very long and onerous period behind American bars in which to reflect upon things... :D

I doubt very much he will find the US justice system as easy to manipulate as ours

Me too. Let's hope it'll prove to be a very stark demonstration of the difference.

Some good news...

Radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza has been found guilty by a New York court of supporting terrorism.

He was accused of conspiring to aid organisations like al-Qaeda.

The court heard the 56-year-old aided the kidnappers of 16 tourists in Yemen in 1998 and attempted to build a terror training camp in Oregon in the US.

The cleric, who was extradited from the UK in 2012 after an eight-year legal battle, denied all the charges. He now faces a possible life sentence.

There is one bad thing and one good thing, that has come out of this.

One the British Justice system is the bad thing, why did it take so long for him to be sent to USA - the pathetic Justice system. Wasted money out of the Taxpayer, through fat Lawyers after a quick buck.

The good thing - in the USA, they have Sparkie, and the American system don't muck about - Execute him - full stop.

He didn't care that his brothers killed innocent victims

killing him just creates a martyr - festering in prison for life is a better option imo

Wouldn't surprise me if his English Lawyers use the Human Rights act and tax payers money to get him sent back here to carry his sentence out so that he is near his family. then after a short period he will get early release through our weak justice system. Don't hold your breath on this one.

It's life for our radical cleric - plenty of time for him to reflect on his work in a US jail.

During the sentencing, his lawyers asked the judge to take into account his missing hands and eye.
That has to be the sorriest plea for mercy ever ,makes one wonder how hard his lawyer actually tried :)

Considering he lost his hands making a terrorist bomb I'd have thought that would have increased the sentence.
