Abu Hamza, 4 others tied to al-Qaida arrive in US to face terrorism charges

Islamic cleric Abu Hamza al- Masri is seen in a courtroom sketch in front of a U.S. federal court judge in lower Manhattan on Saturday.

An extremist preacher and four other men accused of terrorism by the U.S. government arrived in New York overnight after they lost a years-long battle to remain in the United Kingdom. All appeared in federal courts within several hours of arriving.

The preacher, Abu Hamza al-Masri, is charged in connection with the abduction of 16 people, including two American tourists, in Yemen in 1998; conspiring to set up a terrorist training camp in Bly, Ore., in 1999; and supporting violent jihad in Afghanistan in 2000 and 2001.

In a final appeal to avert extradition, lawyers for the 54-year-old argued he could not travel because of poor health. The Egyptian-born British citizen has one eye and hooks in place of hands he claims to have lost fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan. Lawyers said he suffers from depression, chronic sleep deprivation, diabetes and other ailments.


Hamza was taken to a lockup next to the federal courthouse in lower Manhattan. He later appeared in court for the first time Saturday wearing a short-sleeved blue prison shirt but without his prosthetic hooks, which he complained had been taken away as he was being transported from London overnight.

His court-appointed lawyer, Sabrina Shroff, asked that his prosthetics be immediately returned "so he can use his arms," The Associated Press reported.

In the 1990s, the fiery anti-American preacher turned London's Finsbury Park Mosque into a training ground for extremist Islamists, attracting men including Sept. 11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui and "shoe bomber" Richard Reid.

Hamza, indicted under the name Mustafa Kamel Mustafa, entered no plea, saying only "I do" when asked by U.S. Magistrate Judge Frank Maas whether he swears that his financial affidavit used to determine is he qualifies for a court-appointed lawyer was correct.

Separately, Egyptian Adel Abdel Bary, 52 and Saudi Khaled al Fawwaz, 50, are charged with conspiring with al-Qaida to kill Americans and attack U.S. interests abroad.

Bary is also charged with murder, conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction and other offenses in connection with the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, which killed 224 people and injured thousands more.

Al-Fawwaz and Bary appeared in a New York court and pleaded not guilty Saturday afternoon, AP reported.

Preet Bharara, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, called the extradition "a watershed moment in our nation's efforts to eradicate terrorism."

"As is charged, these are men who were at the nerve centers of al-Qaida's acts of terror, and they caused blood to be shed, lives to be lost, and families to be shattered," Bharara said, The extradition "makes good on a promise to the American people to use every available diplomatic, legal, and administrative tool to pursue and prosecute charged terrorists no matter how long it takes." 

Two others — Syed Talha Ahsan, 33, and Babar Ahmad, 38 — pleaded not guilty in a federal court in New Haven, Conn., just hours after their arrival in America, AP said.

Profiles of terror suspects extradited from UK to face trials

They were jailed until trial, and their lawyers declined to comment. Authorities say the men are charged in Connecticut because an Internet service provider there was used to run websites that sought to raise cash, recruit fighters and seek equipment for terrorists, including al-Qaida members.

The five men have been battling extradition for between eight and 14 years. On Friday, Britain's High Court ruled that the men had no more grounds for appeal and could be sent to the U.S. immediately.

British Prime Minister David Cameron hailed the deportation.  

"Like the rest of the public I'm sick to the back teeth of people who come here, threaten our country, who stay at vast expense to the taxpayer and we can't get rid of them," he said, according to The Guardian.

"I'm delighted on this occasion we've managed to send this person off to a country where he will face justice."

I realize this comment is going to be much in the minority, but...

Try them under our laws and our rules and deal with them as we would one of our own who are convicted of this. They deserve no more--and no less. They are human, and all humans deserve human rights.

I don't condone what they did. I am as angry over their suspected involvement over 9/11 as the next American (though one wonders how one guy managed to battle extradition for 14 years when 9/11 wasn't 14 years ago.)

But to execute them would be to give them the martyrdom they so desperately believe in, as well as reinforce their belief that we are barbarians. Deny them that. Let them suffer the ignominy of rotting away in a cell for the rest of their lives, never seeing the sun. Lock them away and let them be forgotten by the world, reinforce the lesson that their mindless hatred will not make us afraid, that we will not let this change our identity as a nation.

Let them know that they have not succeeded in changing us to be like them.

MILITARY COURT HAS LESS TERROR CONVICTIONS AS A PERCENTAGE THAN CIVILIAN COURT.

I say that to all the Guantanamo lovers because if you really actually care, you need to get an education on it.

If more terrorists were convicted in military court, I'd be all for it. But that isn't the case. More are let go, end up in their home countries, and then our soldiers fight them again.

Looking forward to us putting these terrorists through due process. They HATE due process, because it doesn't come out of a religious book.

I fail to understand how someone can achieve martyrdom by saying they are not guilty of the act. To achieve this status they stand behind their actions. I also don't feel we should maintain a murderer till he or she dies from natural causes. The people they

killed did not, so why should these people deserve better. If there is no doubt of their guilt no matter what their defense, terminate them in the same manner as they did others, no matter how cruel.

Part of the 'deal' to satisfy the European Union courts (sic) was that they would NOT face the death penalty, would NOT be sent to Gitmo, and WOULD be tried in a Federal Court (civilian). That likely means that if found guilty they will receive consecutive sentences on each count - hence the likelihood of hundreds of years in prison with NO possibility of parole. If found guilty I would put their chances of a Presidential pardon as ZERO.

    “True face of Islam” is confusion. They themselves, the Muslims, no longer know what they represent. The pressures of the “new” and the memories of the “old” are ripping them apart. They have lost their identity. As a result they are readily prepared to look away, sacrifice the face of Islam and use people like Abu Hamza al-Masri to advance it’s teachings in the hope that perhaps one day they will be elevated to new heights and will dominate the world, just like they did in parts of Europe hundreds of years ago. After all they are the chosen ones. In the meantime thousands readily lose their lives for a dream that is no more nor less only a dream.

    Section. 2.The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority; — to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls; — to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction; — to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party; — to Controversies between two or more States; — between a State and Citizens of another State [Modified by Amendment XI]; — between Citizens of different States; — between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof,and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.

    The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the Trial shall be at such Place or Places as the Congress may by Law have directed.

    i fail to see where the federal courts have the power to bring these enemy combatants to trial, they are not within the jurisdictions of US courts. the only thing they can do is imprison them until combat operations are over then use the military courts to impose consequence, or kill them, any else is a mockery of warfare and a loss militarily.

      Does that therefore give you "permission" to do the same or worse? Of course not. It's just an excuse for you to express your hatred. It reminds me of the reply a parent might give when a child asks for something unreasonable: "And if your friend decided to jump off a bridge, does that mean that it's okay for you to do it, too?"

      Why are you addressing me as "chit," anyway?

      Along with others on this board, I disagree with your point of view. However, I don't find it necessary to express my opinions in a rude fashion; rather, I try to be respectful, even when referring to the, uh, “person,” who is running against President Obama. And even when I'm replying to you, too!

      ...as for the rest of your drivel; it is obvious that you have the Chris Matthews syndrome of 'tingle up your leg' , deeming any criticism of Prez-0 as 'hatred'...oh, goodness...people who criticize Prez-0 (that is, President - ZERO) must be, dare we say it, 'racist'.

      Of course, the disrespect could be because the asshat made a boatload of promises in 2007-2008, of which, he kept NONE. Transparency in govt? NOT! Cut the deficit? NOT! Unite the nation? NOT! Work with / Compromise 'across the aisle'? NOT! The list goes on & on & on & on...

If these were all war crimes, they would also not have had to go through British extradition crap either, it would have been a quick military transfer.

              Holloman AFB, NM has Reaper and Predator drones.

              Let the world see. They can hide but will be found. They can try but in the end, America will hunt them down and show them what happens when they seek to kill us.

              OBL-sleeping with the fishes. So what if it costs a lot of money. Let them be tried by a jury of Americans and spend the rest of their miserable lives rotting in an American prison, where they belong.

              Give them the rest of their lives to think about it.

                British Prime Minister David Cameron hailed the deportation.

                "Like the rest of the public I'm sick to the back teeth of people who come here, threaten our country, who stay at vast expense to the taxpayer and we can't get rid of them," he said, according to The Guardian.

                "I'm delighted on this occasion we've managed to send this person off to a country where he will face justice."

                No, pretty much what one sect of Muslims did to the other sect of Muslims (and all Christians and Jews and Ba'hai and etc.) and then what the other sect of Muslims did to the first (and as above.)

                You've been drinking the Kool-Aid again. The US killed very few and lost a lot of lives. The deaths were by Muslim bombs and murder. Saddam used to cut the arms off children to punish their parents, for Crissake!!!

                The US removed a murderous despot and took bullets to try and leave Iraq to its own people to run. Unfortunately, removing the despot opened the door for Shi'ite, Sunni and Kurd warfare, as Rachel alludes to.

                      guilty of association is a strong proof they are part of the terrorist groups. beheaded them just like they do to their captives. Bringing them here is only a waste of resources or stripped them off with their citizenship and deport them to Israel.

Maybe ask yourself why China fears us so much? Yes, China can do all those things that you mentioned and the consequences would be just as devestating for them. Or should we just do a little pre-emptive strike just in case? I wish you would spend more time studying spelling and grammar and lay off the world politics

                                  and on a side note hes been fighting extradition for 8 or more years not the 1 year that has been suggested

                                    Looks like the only realistic option is to just keep killing them more quickly than these roaches pop up. I don't think we'll run out of bullets anytime soon. It would be preferable if they could just be roasted alive, but that takes too long.

                                        I don't agree with you often, but I think you have something there! Oh no, they must have escaped!

                                          These are hardened terrorists who hate the USA, not common criminals who we hope to "rehabilitate" They are enemies of the US, murderers (the two embassies were mass murder) and there is no rehabilitation. Inject them and bury them in unmarked graves, and tell their friends they face the same.

                                          Put these "Badasses" in a cellblock with Crips and Bloods. We'll see how tough they are. I'll be they'd offer to suck off everyone in the prison so they won'y get hurt.

                                          Not so sure as most crips and bloods have converted to Islam during 1 of their many prison experiences. Now, the aryan nation prisoners might be another story.

                                          It would seem that a good number of American citizens have forgotten that these political prisoners are innocent until proved guilty..

                                          It is imperative that our treatment of these gentlemen is fair, transparent and pursued in a just and non predjudiced manner.

                                          Exodus probably will do a Cindy Sheehan or a Sean Penn to say how "bad America has been to you". At first, I thought the troll was ACLU but the last statement confirmed lawyer

                                          because the only time jailers get big paychecks is when they are on the take.

                                          suck a big one holmes - have you been over there? if you say you have, then you haven't been on the streets - how about a trip to sadr city - lets see how that goes. innocent until proven guilty only works in a civilized environment for one, two - our current judicial system is nothing but full of loop holes to be exploited so that the bad guy can get his way - and the laywer makes $$$$$

                                          Nah, they're guilty, that's why the UK sent them. The US will deal a harsher hand than the UK. The US has a huge problem with Illegals from south of the border and the UK has the same that Islamist extremismists fills their arena thanks to the lax laws of the Commonwealth before 9/11. In fact France joins the UK for Top Dog in ridding themselves of Islamist Extremists. Both European nations are more apt to export their headaches to the US because the US will deal stronger penalties than their laws will allow. They don't mind shelling a truckfull of Pounds or Francs out to finance an American trial. None at all. US does the same as do most nations. That's what made Sadat and Mubarrak so great in the eyes of the world's legal system pre 9/11. When it came to dealing with Islamic Extremists Egypt was more than happy to take them. It's called rendition. Know that game well! Slowly and surely the US is working to fill that void. Afterall, nobody has such a closed society as Gitmo either! Never know who's there and if they're still there. That's the reason some are set free. They'll tell others what the experience is like in Gitmo. Makes it harder and costlier for the terrorist recruiters to get the best to fill their ranks. Like I said, know that game well.

                                              hmmm...terrorists get to have a trial?? I thought only humans deserved that privilege...oh well, some whiny lib would boo hoo about their "rights" anyway...but only until one of these goat turd eaters blows himself up in their own neighborhoods...I say one bullet in the head, and stuff their carcasses with pork and toss them out of a plane towards whatever cave or dirt pile they were living in.

                                              Waste of time to bring them here and put them on trial. The plane should have mysteriously gone down. These guys need some Middle-East style justice - chop off their heads or put a bullet in them. The world will not miss them, and the planet will keep spinning. I would expect the same to happen to me if I was kidnapped by them, and would, in fact, welcome death instead of years of torture. They have no moral high ground, so, in similar cases, we shouldn't either.

                                              I can agree with part of that statement -make it a drone aircraft ok; the aircrew does not deserve that. Or open the rear doors of the C-130 and load master in "monkey strap" holds on, while the pilot does a "shine your a$$" altitude climb of 45 degrees and the 4 terrs fall out.

                                              I have very little knowledge of the law, but I am guessing that the European court system would not hand them over to the US unless there was a promise of no death sentence.

                                              I would guess that the very old prison in up state New York has been rebuilt since the 1930's gangster movies, too bad, it gets very cold in upstate N.Y.
