Brits to confiscate Abu Hamza's house to pay for his legal fees

Britain's Legal Services Commission will sell Abu Hamza's house in the hopes of raising £280,000 to help cover the costs of his legal fees.

Do you really think that £280,000 or approximately $600,000 will cover 7 years of legal fees and for his gold plated plumbing recently installed in his prison cell?

Radical Muslim preacher Abu Hamza has had his house confiscated by the Legal Services Commission to pay legal bills.

Hamza, jailed for seven years in 2007 for inciting murder and stirring up racial hatred, is fighting extradition to the US on terror charges.[...]

It will be sold to pay some of the £300,000 cost of his defence. Officials hope to raise £280,000 from the sale.

Carolyn Regan, chief executive of the Legal Services Commission, said: "The Legal Services Commission can confirm it has taken possession of Abu Hamza's property, as a contribution to recovering the legal aid costs spent on his defence.
