Hate preacher Hamza jailed for inciting murder

RADICAL Islamic cleric Abu Hamza was yesterday jailed for seven years at the Old Bailey after he was convicted of a string of race hate and terror charges.

Sentencing him, Mr Justice Hughes said he had "helped to create an atmosphere in which to kill has become regarded by some as not only a legitimate course but a moral and religious duty in pursuit of perceived justice."

The judge said: "No one can now say what damage your words may have caused."
