Abu Hamza's sons jailed for fraud

Three sons of radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza, who is currently serving time for incitement to murder, were on Thursday jailed over their involvement in a luxury car scam in London.

Hamza Kamel, 22, and Mohamed Mostafa, 27, helped run the fraudulent scheme with their step-brother Mohssin Ghailam, 28, according to prosecutors at Southwark Crown Court.

Judge Gregory Stone jailed them and four others for what he called "serious criminality" over the scam, in which they used a legal loophole to steal Mercedes, BMWs and Range Rovers left in long-stay car parks.

Kamel was jailed for two and a half years, after pleading guilty to counts of dishonest handling of stolen cars and money laundering and Mostafa was jailed for two years after admitting two counts of fraud.

Ghailam, described as a "key player" in the scam, was given a four-year jail term after admitting conspiracy to defraud.

Their Egyptian-born father, who has one eye and a hook for a hand, is serving a seven-year jail term for inciting followers to murder non-believers.

He is also wanted in the US on charges including setting up an Al-Qaeda-style training camp for militants in the northwest state of Oregon.

In addition, he is accused of sending money and recruits to assist Afghanistan's hardline former rulers the Taliban and Al-Qaeda and helping a gang of kidnappers in Yemen who abducted a 16-strong party of Western tourists in 1998.

Four people -- three Britons and an Australian -- were killed.
