Hamzi zatvor nije stran, jer je on u svom rodnom Tunisu osuđen u odsustvu na 12 godina zatvora, a 2000. je služio i sedmogodišnju kaznu zatvora zbog ubistva jednog suborca iz mudžahedinskog odreda.
Hamza is no stranger to prison, as he was sentenced in absentia to 12 years behind bars in his native country of Tunisia, and served a seven-year sentence in 2000 after being apprehended for the murder of a fellow al-Mujahideen combatant.
