EVIL Abu Hamza is to be let out of a top security jail for a £10,000 operation on the NHS,
The hook-handed preacher is understood to be jumping the health service waiting list on the grounds that he is an "emergency" case.
Hamza — serving seven years for incitement to murder — will have micro-surgery on his stumps after complaining of severe pain.
He will spend at least four days at a London hospital.
Bosses at Belmarsh jail in South East London feared the Muslim cleric would sue unless he was allowed the op.
Father-of-seven Hamza will be manacled to two prison officers and guarded round the clock.
Armed police are also expected to be posted at the hospital during his stay next month.
A Belmarsh insider said last night: "Hamza complains all the time about his health, especially about pains in the stumps of his arms. It has now been established he needs complicated micro-surgery on the nerve endings. Whatever prisoners have done, we have to give them the same kind of medical treatment they would get if they were law-abiding citizens.
"There is no doubt Hamza is jumping the queue for treatment."
A Prison Service spokeswoman said: "We do not comment on individual prisoners."
