 New start for terror-tinged mosque - Islam in Europe - MSNBC.com
LONDON — The Finsbury Park mosque, where the one-eyed, hook-handed militant cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri once delivered his fiery sermons and helped turn a religious facility into the target for dozens of international terrorism investigations, is going through a makeover.
Abu Hamza al-Masri, top, preaches in a street in front of the Finsbury Park mosque in north London in April 2003 after he was shut out of the facility.
Although accounts differ on the details, what is clear is that by the late 1990s Hamza and his coterie of followers succeeded in intimidating the former leadership until the cleric became the de facto head of the mosque, answerable to no one.
