Convicted Terror Sympathizer Working in London Underground

[GI Joe]

Mohammed Kamel Mostafa, the son of radical cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri, has been working in the London's Underground 'tube' system, the scene of the 7/7 terrorist bombings.

Mostafa has been convicted in Yemen on terrorism related charges and had publicly glorified suicide attacks in the past. His father, Abu Hamza al-Masri, is in jail (http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/185179.php) for organizing violent jihad. Three of the 7/7 bombers were congregants (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-2030129,00.html) at al-Masri's Finsburry Mosque.

Even worse? London's socialist mayor, Ken Livingston, has publicly defended Mostafa's right to work on the tube system (defended Mostafa's right to work on the tube system.). If that isn't the height of stupidity, I don't know what is.


The Sun: (http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2006500443,00.html)

HE terrorist son of hook-handed Abu Hamza has been working on London’s Tube, The Sun can reveal.

Mohammed Kamel Mostafa, 25 — a convicted fanatic who has glorified suicide attacks like the 7/7 slaughter — was rumbled by Underground workmates when they saw his picture in The Sun.

They went straight to bosses, who told Mohammed Kamel Mostafa, 25, to sling his hook.

But last night fury erupted over the security shambles that led to the convicted terrorist being granted astonishing access to London’s Tube network.

Mostafa was given a pass to do labouring jobs. The lank-haired extremist worked in restricted areas near stations classified in the Underground’s “top area” — the zone most likely to be attacked by bombers.

Oh God, The Sun. Couldn't you have got a better source?

Still you'd think Blair would have passed a law making it illegal for people like him to work in sensitive areas. There must be some law they could use. If it was only because of his father, I could understand him being allowed to work there, but since he's already been convicted it seems pretty clear cut.

This variant is perhaps a little more accurate, if less splenetic.

""In this country a person cannot be sacked for what their parents do. It is the actions of Mohammed Kamel Mostafa himself which are relevant," Mr Livingstone said. "However, Mr Mostafa has convictions in Yemen. These must be taken into account. They should have been brought to light by those doing the security checks - the failure to do so must be investigated. As he failed to declare these to the subcontractor they are correct to dismiss him."

Yesterday, Andrew Dismore, Labour MP for Hendon, criticised the decision to employ Mr Mostafa, saying all potential employees on the Underground network should be barred if they had any terrorism-related convictions anywhere in the world. "The key point here is that terrorism is an international crime," he said. "Whether or not somebody has a conviction in the UK is not the end of the story. If somebody has a conviction for terrorism anywhere in the world, in my view, that should be a bar on them working in certain jobs.

"Bearing in mind what happened on 7/7, he should not have been working on the Underground." "






It wasn't/isn't his father's mosque either.

That seems a more intelligent article. Though I did like the line in the Sun's version: "The lank-haired extremist". Lanky hair? My God, shoot him!
