Mustafa new name, moans hater Hamza
From The Sun
HOOK-handed Abu Hamza has changed his name by deed poll to try to shake off his hate-preaching past.The jailed rabble-rouser now wishes to be known as Mustafa Kamal Mustafa.
Staff at London’s top security Belmarsh Prison, where he is awaiting extradition to the US, have been instructed to address him by his new name instead of Abu Hamza al-Masri.
Last night a Whitehall source said: “He is trying to shed the enormous amount of baggage associated with his old name. He can call himself what he likes officially but he will be forever known as Abu Hamza.” He was actually named Mustafa Kamal Mustafa at birth in Egypt. But when he became involved in Islamic extremism he switched to Abu Hamza — which in Arabic means “strong and steadfast”.
The Prison Service said a serious deed poll name change “should be acknowledged officially”. European Court judges ruled Hamza, 54, can be sent to America to stand trial on terror charges which carry up to 99 years’ jail.
He has until July 10 to appeal. On Sunday, we revealed Hamza was issued a new British passport by bungling officials — without them checking with the Home Secretary. It was returned to the Identity and Passport Service
