U.S. hobbling German Sept. 11 trial

U.S. hobbling German Sept. 11 trial:"Hamburg : German prosecutors of a suspected al-Qaida terrorist are frustrated by U.S. testimony the suspect had little to do with the attacks of Sept.11, 2001.Moroccan-born Mounir Motassadeq is on trial in Hamburg before five judges.He is accused of more than 3,000 counts of accessory to murder and membership in a terrorist organization, namely al-Qaida. But attorney Dietrich Snell, who headed the U.S. commission's team that investigated the role of the Hamburg cell, told judges the ring-leader, Mohamed Atta, and the other Sept.11 hijackers did not develop the idea for the attacks on New York and Washington plot on their own.Rather, Snell testified, they were recruited by al-Qaida chief - Osama bin Laden during a visit to militant training camps in Afghanistan. That was a blow for prosecutors, who must prove that important elements of the conspiracy took place in Germany, the New York Times said Wednesday. Motassadeq, 31, was convicted on the charges in 2003 and sentenced to 15 years in prison, the maximum under German law. But an appeals court overturned the verdict, ruling the evidence did not justify the result." Personally I don't feel we will ever know who was truly involution in the Sept.11, attack. And if we do, it won't be while I'm still breathing. Yes someday someone will brag or tell. But that day is and will be a long time away So as far this man do we really want to be the one's who burn him at the stake! Well.....I don't feel I would want to make that call, unless I was %100 sure it was him. Or to that matter, anyone.
