The US attorney office in New York said Hamza was expected to face a judge in New York within 24 hours after civilian US jets flew him to America hours after he lost his long legal battle to stay in Britain.

He arrived at Westchester County Airport, New York State, at about 2.30am local time, and was taken to a lockup next to the federal courthouse in lower Manhattan.

Hamza was expected to be briefly presented before US Magistrate Judge Frank Maas on Saturday before appearing at a longer court session on Tuesday where charges would be read to him.

Hamza, 54, a supporter of al Qaeda and former preacher at Finsbury Park mosque in North London, is wanted in the US on terrorism charges.

  1. I hope that this evil piece of excrement is punished so severely that he will look back on his wasted life and wished that he had never been Muslim. Dirt bags like him should not even be receiving this much attention. This ugly deformed motherfucker should be thrown into a swamp and left to rot!

  2. He will consider himself a martyr for the cause and look forward to his eventual reward of 72 black eyed virgins. Imagine his despair when he gets 72 black grapes instead.
