Abu Hamza "can be extradited" to USA to be judged on terrorism charges
Financial Times.
A UK court ruled on Thursday that Abu Hamza al-Masri, the radical Muslim cleric, could be extradited to the US to face terrorism-related and race-hate charges.
The Egyptian-born cleric, who worked as a bouncer in a London club to fund his university studies when he moved to Britain in the 1980s, is currently serving a seven-year jail term in the UK for inciting his followers to murder non-Muslims.
Judge Timothy Workman said there was enough evidence for the US to seek Mr Hamza’s extradition and that “extradition would be compatible with the defendant’s” rights under the Human Rights Convention. However, he added that any evidence that a prisoner might face long periods of solitary confinement in the US would be enough to block an extradition on human rights grounds. (hein???)
Mr Hamza, distinctive-looking for his missing eye and a hook to replace a missing hand – is wanted by the US authorities on 11 charges.
The US wants to prosecute the London preacher for alleged attempts to set up a training camp for the terrorist group al-Qaeda in Oregon in 1999-2000. Apart from accusing him of providing logistical support to al-Qaeda and the Taliban, the US also believes he was involved in the 1998 kidnapping of 16 westerners in Yemen.
So he is not going to be extradited if he can face long periods of solitary confinement. And this is the guy who said:
“Killing a kuffar (unbeliever) who is fighting you is OK. Killing a kuffar for any reason, you can say it is OK even if there is no reason for it”.
He also rejected the guy who was washing him (after two years) because he was homosexual. Of course, he was nicknamed Queenie. Appearently it took two years for Abu Hamza to realize that.
He justifies the 9/11 attacks saying that "it was necessary to make the Americans understand that the Muslims are fed up of Palestine mistreatment and of the Islamists' prosecution". He added that Al-Qaeda didn't want to assasinate all those people, that "unluckily they were there".
His elder son is a rap singer. Err, well, he is a JIHADI rap singer:"I was born to be a soldier/ with the kalashnikov on my shoulder/ peace to Hamas and Hizbollah/ this is the path of our Lord Allah/ we are in a holy war/ and I defend my religion with the holy sword". He has even sung those songs to thousands of people in UK's Wembley Stadium (how he was allowed to do that, is something that is beyond my knowledge).
He is nicknamed MC Hamza, and he is the son of the first wife of the imam, Valerie Fleming, a Catholic British woman with Spanish origins (wonder if she was in good health, I mean in good mental health). He says he is not afraid as "Jihad is very clear: we have to combat the ones who fight us, whether they are Muslims or not".
He is also studying Business Administration, is renting a flat at Wembley (near the stadium, not to spend too much on transport) and is paid an unemployment subsidy of 44,5 pounds a week.
That last thing is priceless, isn't it?
Abu Hamza "podrá ser extraditado" a EEUU para ser juzgado por terrorismo.
