There was growing anger last night that Abu Hamza’s family are continuing to be bankrolled by the British public.
As the hate preacher was convicted of 11 terror offences in the U.S., it emerged his wife and children are still being housed at an extortionate cost in one of the most upmarket areas of the country.
It is thought the family have cost taxpayers more than £3million in benefits and social housing, as well as legal fees for Hamza and his sons.
Hamza’s second wife Najat Mostafa, 55, with whom he has seven children, lives in a £1.25 million five-bedroom council house in Shepherd’s Bush, West London – an area popular with bankers and City lawyers.
Last night, neighbours said they were ‘sickened’ the family were continuing to benefit from state handouts.
Hamza, 58, has nine children – seven sons and two daughters.
His eldest son Mohamed Mostafa, 32, was jailed for his part in planning to blow up churches in Yemen on Christmas Day 1998.
He was jailed again in 2008, along with his brother Hamza Kamel, now 27, for their part in a £1 million luxury car scam.
Hamza’s fifth son Imran Mostafa, 20, was jailed for 11 years in 2012 for armed robbery.
Another son, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was jailed in February for 12 years for conspiracy to kidnap and conspiracy to commit false imprisonment.
A neighbour of the family said yesterday: ‘What would they do in America? Put the terrorist’s family up for free in a gorgeous road where everyone else has worked hard to live there? I don’t think so.’
Another neighbour said: ‘Given how hard it is for hard-working Britons to get on the housing market in London, it is sickening how easy it has been for them.’
Scaffolder Grant Lawrence, 28, who was working on the street yesterday, said: ‘I work hard and I can’t get on the property ladder. It is disgusting.
‘It is sickening that a terrorist’s family are living here and we are all paying for it.’
THE DEPUTY
Britain has spent £3million trying to deport the man thought to be Abu Hamza’s lieutenant on terror charges, but is being thwarted by human rights laws, it emerged last night.
U.S. prosecutors want to put Haroon Aswat on trial for allegedly helping the hook-handed cleric establish a terrorist training camp in Oregon in 1999.
Hamza was convicted of setting up the camp – which provided training for jihadists headed for Afghanistan – on Monday.
But Aswat, who is detained in Broadmoor high-security hospital, has thwarted his own extradition by using the European Convention on Human Rights, on the grounds he is mentally unfit to be detained in an American jail.
The case, which dates back to 2005, has already landed the taxpayer with a £3 million bill – including £2.25 million to keep Aswat in custody while he fights removal.
In Broadmoor, he takes part in workshops and is studying for an Open University degree, at a cost of £325,000 a year.
The European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg has said he cannot be sent to the US in case his fragile mental health deteriorates. In a judgment last month, the ruling was upheld by the High Court.
Yorkshire-born Aswat is alleged to have travelled to Oregon to help set up a jihadi training camp run by James Ujaama.
His trip was said to have been organised by Hamza to equip recruits to go to Afghanistan and fight.
After leaving the US, Aswat travelled to Afghanistan, Pakistan and South Africa before being detained in Nairobi in 2005.
He was extradited to Britain and has since been held in custody, moving from a high-security prison to Broadmoor in 2008 when he began to suffer from schizophrenia.
The case has revived calls for reform of human rights law.
Tory MP Peter Bone said: ‘There does seem to be something very wrong with how the law is working.
‘I know the law is an ass but in this instance it seems to be outrageous.’
