Ten of them, actually.
The jolly jihadist — who allegedly mentored the Shoebomber, allegedly tried to set up a terrorist training camp in Oregon, allegedly aided in kidnapping Americans in Yemen, and definitely can’t count to 10 unless he’s barefoot — has finally been extradited from Britain to the US. And along with his new address, he’s getting new digits.
Taxpayers will foot the bill to replace radical Islamic preacher Abu Hamza al-Masri’s infamous hooks, The Post has learned.
And the cost — while not quite an arm and a leg — is expected to run up to $16,000 so the one-eyed, terror-loving thug can feed and clean himself in the slammer.
Al-Masri’s metal hooks were removed from his forearm stumps Friday night after he was handed over by the Brits to face terror-related charges in Manhattan federal court…
But because depriving al-Masri of a “reasonable standard” of medical care in jail would violate his civil rights — and provide grounds for an appeal — he’s expected to be outfitted with a pair of no-frills, cable-operated rubber hands.
Well, at least when we give him a slap on the wrist, there’ll be no risk of puncture wounds.
I say let him keep the hooks, but only feed him finger foods. Nah, he’d never get it.
