...Festival of Sacred Music brings together a unique blend of European, North African, and American cultural acts. Inspired by the yearly festival that takes place in Fes, Morocco, the show will feature Andalusian Jewish music from Francoise Atlan, gospel music from The Anointed Jackson Sisters, and south Moroccan tribal traditions from Hadra de Femmes de Taroudant. Jon Pareles of The New York Times calls the show “A festival of believers, but not for believers alone.” Many of the acts are considered masters of their art but are relatively unknown in the West.

...message German judges sent to Berlin and Washington D.C. by ordering a retrial for the only terror suspect ever convicted in connection with the 9/11 attacks. The appeals court in Karlsruhe ruled that Mounir el-Motassadeq, 29, did not receive a fair trial in Hamburg last year. The Moroccan, a friend of the Hamburg hijackers, had been found guilty of being an accessory to murder on more than 3,000 counts in connection with 9/11, but the court was unable to hear testimony from Ramzi Binalshibh, an alleged key al-Qaeda operative in U.S. custody.

ACQUITTED. ABDELGHANI MZOUDI, 31, Moroccan electrical-engineering student and the second suspect to stand trial for helping the Sept. 11 suicide hijackers; of charges of accessory to murder and membership in al-Qaeda; in Hamburg, Germany. Mzoudi's former roommate was convicted of the same charges last year, but German prosecutors attributed their failure in this case to Washington's refusal to allow testimony from captured terrorist suspects...
...justice. In Hamburg last week, Judge Klaus Rühle announced that his five-man court was freeing alleged Sept. 11 accomplice Abdelghani Mzoudi "not because the court is convinced of [his] innocence, but only because the evidence was not enough for a conviction." Mzoudi, a 31-year-old Moroccan who witnesses said had trained at al-Qaeda camps in Afghanistan, didn't deny having extensive ties with the hijackers who lived in Hamburg. He made financial transactions for one and arranged housing for others. The government believed he knew about the attacks in advance and charged him with complicity...
