Abu Hamza faces US terror trial

The trial of Abu Hamza, the radical Muslim cleric who was extradited from the UK to America in 2012, is expected to begin in New York today.

Hamza, who was indicted under the name Mustafa Kamel Mustafa, denies 11 terror charges – related to the taking of hostages in Yemen in 1998, supporting al Qaida, advocating jihad in Afghanistan and planning to set up a terrorist training camp in Bly, Oregon.
