Abu Hamza stumped
2010-12-14
Jailed hate cleric Abu Hamza was yesterday refused bail despite pleading his stumps have become infected in jail.

Lawyers for the hook-handed extremist claimed he was also suffering from diabetes and was going blind.
He couldn't grow hair on his hooks, so going blind was the only option.
The 52-year-old, who was jailed for seven years in 2006 for soliciting murder, is facing extradition to the US on terror charges.

Judge Howard Riddle, at Westminster Magistrates' Court, said: "I'm told the defendant has a history of having access to false identity documents. Bail is refused."
This is where we would point and laugh, were it not unmannerly.
