US terror case defendant gets prosthetics An Egyptian Islamic preacher with no hands has been given plastic prosthetics in the US. AN Egyptian Islamic preacher with no hands who was extradited from Great Britain to face terrorism charges in the US has received new plastic prosthetics to replace the metal hooks he had used previously. Mustafa Kamel Mustafa, also known as Abu Hamza al-Masri, received the prosthetics on Friday. He did not wear them to federal court in New York, where he appeared later in the day. Mustafa is awaiting trial on charges that he conspired with Seattle men to set up a terrorist training camp in Oregon. He is also charged with helping to abduct two US tourists and 14 other people in Yemen in 1998. He has pleaded not guilty. Defence lawyer Joshua Dratel said Mustafa so far is disappointed with his new prosthetics. He says it is now harder for him to grip things.
