US appeals court upholds terror conviction for imam
[IsraelTimes] A US appeals court has upheld the conviction and life prison sentence given to a London imam for supporting terrorism.

The 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals said Tuesday there was overwhelming evidence against Mustafa Kamel Mustafa.
...the Egypt-born one-eyed, hook-handed hate preacher generally known as Abu Hamza al-Masri, previously of Finsbury Park Mosque. He now graces the Florence, Colorado supermax prison, and was connected to more planned and executed terror plots and jihadis around the world over the past several decades than you can shake a stick at, some of them Al Qaeda...
The court also ruled that Mustafa’s 2012 extradition to the US from England didn’t come with conditions preventing his incarceration at the Supermax prison in Florence, Colorado.

Mustafa is missing both hands. His lawyers say he belongs at a prison better suited to people with disabilities.
Ol’ Hook Hands is a dyed-in-the-wool villain of the first water. Very few are as deserving as he of a lifetime spent in Supermax solitary — made especially piquant in his case because he stupidly blew off his hands while failing to learn how to manufacture bombs in Afghanistan. In line with longstanding trial lawyer practice, his advocates, having neither law nor facts on their side, are busily pounding the table.
Mustafa was convicted in 2014 of ensuring there were satellite communications for kidnappers during a 1998 attack that killed four tourists in Yemen, of supporting plans to open an al-Qaeda training camp in Bly, Oregon, and sending someone to an Afghanistan training camp.
