...instructed his lawyer not to act in his defense at last week's trial. These expectations were overturned when Bouyeri, 27, a Dutch citizen of Moroccan origin, made a surprise statement at the close of the trial.

U.S. officials believe that Binalshibh is a hard-core suicide martyr who wanted to be the 20th hijacker.
