On Nov. 26, authorities allege, Abu Hamza dispatched two "emissaries" to evaluate the Oregon property as a potential training camp. According to the indictment, the pair flew to New York, then made their way to Seattle and Bly, where they met potential training candidates, established security through the use of guard patrols and passwords, conducted firearms training "and viewed a video recording on the subject of improvised poisons."
Sources familiar with the case identified the pair as aides to Abu Hamza. One was Oussama Kassir, a bulky Swede of Lebanese ancestry with a long criminal background who supposedly claimed to be Bin Laden's "hit man." The other was Haroon Aswat, a soft-spoken, slim Indian who seemed to spend most of his time reading the Koran. Both have been with Abu Hamza at Finsbury Park, according to one former mosque worshiper in London.
"Captain Hook" of Finsbury Park. I had not seen anything on him in quite a while. I vaguely recall that he was fighting extradition to the U.S.
Also reminds me of Krakar. Another in again out again terrorist in the land of midnight sun.
Both of them have been off my radar for quite a while.
I wonder whether this Kassir might have been immediately transfered to a more "local" facility if someone had not leaked info on outsourced detention facilities.
