Two veteran journalists tell the inside story of convicted
hate-monger Abu Hamza, his infamous Finsbury Park Mosque and how it
turned out a generation of militants willing to die - and kill -
for their cause... In the heightened atmosphere following the
terrorist attacks on 9/11, Mostafa Kemal Mostafa, aka. Abu Hamza
al-Masri, was a gift to tabloid newspapers. His prosthetic hook
hand, glass eye and rabid pronouncements as imam of the Finsbury
Park Mosque made him the very image of a bogeyman, easily
caricatured and ultimately dismissed by intelligence analysts who
judged him offensive, but essentially foolish. They were wrong. In
this chilling investigation, senior news journalists Daniel McGrory
and Sean O'Neill reveal that the imam recently convicted for
inciting murder and racial hatred not only indoctrinated vulnerable
young Muslims into a firebrand version of Islam, but supported
Taliban leaders, had direct contact with al-Qaeda and recommended
recruits for terrorist training camps in Afghanistan. Under Abu
Hamza's leadership, the north London mosque became a place where
young zealots were taught hand-to-hand combat, the use of knives,
how to dismantle and reassemble firearms and surveillance
techniques. Amongst the extremists who looked to Abu Hamza for
leadership were Zacarias Moussaoui, the so-called twentieth
hijacker from the attacks of 9/11, and Mohammed Sidique Khan, the
ringleader of the 7 July London bombings. Using the account of an
inside informant, the jail diary of a former recruit, security
records and recollections of followers and associates of the imam,
the authors dig behind the notoriety Abu Hamza has been content to
foster for the real story of a larger-than-life man who has lied
repeatedly about his background, his first (bigamous) marriage to
an Englishwoman and even the cause of his famous injuries. Even
more alarmingly, they reveal how British security forces for years
allowed the Egyptian's training ground to thrive, turning a blind
eye to the dangers of home-grown extremism and permitting some of
the most fanatical elements from around the world to establish
London as their base...
