Abu Hamza al-Masri, the Islamic cleric who once delivered fiery sermons at Finsbury Park Mosque in London, told a New York jury he didn't help al-Qaeda or take part in the December 1998 abduction of tourists in Yemen, four of whom were killed.
Abu Hamza yesterday took the stand inManhattan federal court to answer prosecutors' allegations he deployed followers for terrorist activities, including the hostage-taking, and tried to start a training camp for al-Qaeda in Oregon.
