    Default A guilty verdict for "Hook" Hamza

    For many in the UK Abu Hamza was the symbol for Londonistan and many here thought there was no will to prosecute him for a long, long time. That criticism is fuelled by his liasion with the police / intelligence agencies and the defence's claim:
    His defence claimed he had assisted MI5 "to keep the streets of London safe".
    So now he has been convicted in New York and awaits sentencing. Two UK reports:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-27478998 and slightly more detailed:http://www.theguardian.com/world/201...rorism-charges



    Added: denials that Hamza was a useful counter to extremism and some insight into UK prosecution decisions:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...informant.html

    An informant says the UK authorities were "chickens":http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...upergrass.html
