...finding is important because previously, Mounir el-Motassadeq, 32, had been convicted only of membership in a terrorist organization, and released - that charge carries only a two-year sentence. El-Motassadeq will now likely be rearrested pending sentencing. Hamburg authorities have said they will deport him back to his native Morocco after he has served his time. He faces a maximum sentence of 15 years after being found guilty of being an accessory in the murders of the 246 who died in the planes, but not in the killing of the victims in the towers. That, say experts, means that...
When a German appeals court last March overturned the only conviction against a suspected Sept. 11 conspirator, the court blamed the U.S. for failing to allow testimony from terrorists in its custody. Now Mounir el-Motassadeq - a Moroccan engineering student in Hamburg charged with being an accessory to murder in the 9/11 attacks and supporting a terrorist organization - is on trial again. And last week, the U.S. unexpectedly turned over intelligence reports based on questioning of two top al-Qaeda operatives.

...with terror offenses; those six remain in prison. They are mostly of Pakistani origin, and prosecutors will be asking them to explain the 600 kg of ammonium nitrate fertilizer, commonly used as an explosive, found in a self-storage unit in west London.

...Suspect Goes Free All's not fair in the war on terror. That's the 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...
