On Friday, he will have one final chance to convince a U.S. judge that he should not spend the rest of his life in prison, eight months after a federal jury in New York convicted him of terrorism charges.
Abu Hamza, 56, is scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court in Manhattan at 10 a.m. to be sentenced.
The one-eyed, handless Abu Hamza gained notoriety for his fiery rhetoric and use of a hook in place of his missing right hand. He was found guilty of providing a satellite phone and advice to Yemeni militants who kidnapped Western tourists in 1998. Four hostages died in the operation.
He was also convicted of sending two followers to Oregon to establish a militant training camp and of dispatching an associate to Afghanistan to aid al Qaeda and the Taliban against the United States.
In their sentencing recommendation to Judge Katherine Forrest, lawyers for Abu Hamza focused on his need for specialized medical care as a double amputee.

His friends call him Hammy, which is a little embarrassing.

Some day, a bunch of terrorists will try to exchange Hamza against a school full of kidnapped American children.
And the parents will be storming the WH to make that exchange and so will be the rest of the nation.
If you like your muzzies, you can keep your muzzies, but if you have a whiff of intelligence you ship’m all out.

Hamza’s bad luck was that he was arrested by the UK and then extradited to the USA through conventional legal channels. Had he been captured by US forces and brought to Gitmo, Husein Obama would have already released him by now.

This is a Cuban Anole, Anolis sagrei, they attract females by climbing up on something and waving a hand. It seems to work!
