Tony's gonna owe George big time for this one! U.S.: Cleric arrested in London tried to start terror camp in Ore. NEW YORK (AP) — Abu Hamza al-Masri, the fiery Muslim cleric whose shuttered London mosque was linked to Zacarias Moussaoui and shoe bomber Richard Reid, was arrested Thursday in Britain, accused in a U.S. indictment of trying to establish a terrorist training camp in Oregon and providing aid to al-Qaeda, officials said. Al-Masri, 47, also is charged in the 11-count indictment with hostage-taking and conspiracy in connection with a December 1998 incident that killed four tourists in Yemen. (Related item: Indictment: U.S. v. Mustafa Kamel Mustafa a/k/a Abu Hamza al-Masri) Al-Masri, whose real name is Mustafa Kamel Mustafa, was arrested at his London home, British authorities said. He was the imam at the Finsbury Park Mosque, which has been linked to Sept. 11 suspect Moussaoui and Reid and was shut down in January 2003 after a police anti-terrorism raid. Al-Masri appeared Thursday afternoon before a magistrate at the high-security Belmarsh prison. He shrugged and laughed when asked if he would consent to being extradited, then added, "I don't really think I want to, no." Ah com'on Abu - we've got a pair of soiled panties with ear holes that'll really look cute on you! OW http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2004-05-27-cleric-arrest_x.htm?csp=24

I was rather thinking Ramla Prison, Israel. I want it entered in the record that I did not rise to On Watch's bait and make a "Weird Science" bras-on-head joke.

>>...[Re:]the theory that the US / UK etc. created these murderers. At the time we were trying to destabilise the Russians. That was reason enough to back the Afghans.--ccooke<< If memory serves The Arab mujahadeen{Usama bin laddie etc) were funded by the Saudis & other Arab revenue streams. The US(Carter/Reagan era) supported/funded the local Afghan Rebels. Although ISI played both mujahadeen varieties to their own advantage. ON Watch

He doesn't technically enter US territory if they drag him behind the plane on the extradition over here.

---------If memory serves The Arab mujahadeen{Usama bin laddie etc) were funded by the Saudis & other Arab revenue streams. The US(Carter/Reagan era) supported/funded the local Afghan Rebels. Although ISI played both mujahadeen varieties to their own advantage.---------- Agreed…… I have often wondered what the UK role was in Afghanistan. I have read several articles in newspapers etc and have read some references to the SAS / MI6. It often amuses me when I read such things - that every now and again a “Brit” pops up. However you do not seem to get the details…… ccooke
