Hamza's 'terror manual'

A DOZEN police officers seized 181 items from the home of alleged race hate cleric Abu Hamza in a pre-dawn raid, the Old Bailey heard today.
They included a ten volume Encyclopaedia of Afghani Jihad - which the prosecution allege was a terrorism "manual" containing a dedication to Osama bin Laden and suggesting a list of potential targets which included skyscrapers and Big Ben.
Hamza said he had been given it as a gift and had not read it, but kept it as a historical document, the court has heard.
Detective Sergeant Keith Asman who led the search on Hamza's premises in Shepherds Bush, west London in May last year, said two interpreters were with them who studied items written in Arabic to identify their content.
The police were looking for diaries, address books, passports, traveldocuments, maps plans or sketches, DS Asman told jurors.
Also on their search schedule were immigration papers, literature and books relating to politics, religion, devices, poisonous chemicals, notepads and personal correspondence.
The officer's evidence came as the prosecution ended their case. Hamza's defence case is due to start later.
Hamza, 47, from west London, faces nine charges under the Offences Against the Person Act 1861 alleging that he solicited others at public meetings to murder Jews and other non-Muslims.
He also faces four charges under the Public Order Act 1986 of "usingthreatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour with the intention of stirring up racial hatred".
A further charge alleges Hamza was in possession of video and audiorecordings which he intended to distribute to stir up racial hatred.
The final charge, under section 58 of the Terrorism Act, accuses him of possession of a document, the Encyclopaedia of the Afghani Jihad, which contained information "of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism".
