 Terrorism Indictment: British Islamic Cleric Abu Hamza al Masri - CDI ISLP
The indictment cites directives by Abu Hamza that once in Afghanistan the two were to seek out a particular terrorist "front-line commander," who was expecting the second co-conspirator (i.e., the one accompanying the fundraiser).
Abu Hamza allegedly provided 6,000 British pounds to the two co-conspirators journeying to Afghanistan with instructions that a portion be used to lease a building to house the lab and to pay some of its start-up expenses.
In addition, if Abu Hamza were involved with current terrorist activities -- such as planning for future attacks -- one might also consider whether the prosecution is intended in part as a tactic to pressure Abu Hamza to cooperate with intelligence-gathering, in an effort to thwart such planning or apprehend third parties.
