NEW YORK (AP) — A
partially blind extremist Egyptian-born preacher charged in multiple
terrorism plots entered a U.S. court for the first time Saturday without
the use of his arms, complaining that prosthetic hooks he uses were
taken away as he and four other terrorism defendants were flown to New
York overnight from London.
Abu
Hamza al-Masri, 54, indicted under the name Mustafa Kamel Mustafa,
entered a Manhattan courtroom under heavy security to face charges he
conspired with Seattle men to set up a terrorist training camp in Oregon
and helped abduct 16 hostages, two of them American tourists, in Yemen in 1998.
