An admitted al-Qaida terrorist in prison for the 9/11 attacks is asking to testify in Oklahoma City federal court about a plot to shoot down Air Force One and to assassinate former President Bill Clinton.
Zacarias Moussaoui also is claiming a Saudi prince assisted him in Norman in “my Islamic Terrorist activities” there in 2001. Moussaoui took flight lessons at a Norman flight school in 2001 as part of his plan to pilot a plane into a building.
“I am ready to testify about all the above and more in your court in an Open Hearing that I request,” he wrote by hand in a four-page pleading.
Moussaoui, 46, is serving a life sentence without the possibility of release at the federal supermax penitentiary in Florence, Colo. The French citizen often has been referred to in media accounts as “the 20th hijacker.”
He was arrested in Minnesota in August 2001 after raising suspicions at a flight school there. He was still in custody on Sept. 11, 2001, when 19 suicidal al-Qaida hijackers took control of four planes.
Moussaoui often has made bizarre statements since his arrest. A defense psychologist concluded he was a paranoid schizophrenic who suffered from delusions.
He pleaded guilty in April 2005 to a federal terrorism case, admitting a role in the al-Qaida conspiracy that resulted in “the deaths of thousands of persons on Sept. 11, 2001.”
At the time of his guilty plea, he claimed that al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden had personally approved him to pilot a plane into the White House at a later date.
At a 2006 trial over his punishment, he changed his account, saying his role was to fly a fifth plane — into the White House — on Sept. 11, 2001. After the trial, he went back to his original account, stating he was to have been involved in a later al-Qaida operation.
Jurors at the trial were unable to agree on the death penalty and chose life in prison as his punishment. Three jurors concluded Moussaoui “had limited knowledge of the 9/11 attack plans.”
His request to testify in Oklahoma City federal court is highly unusual and almost certainly will be rejected.
He also is asking an Oklahoma City federal judge to order the warden of the Colorado supermax penitentiary and another official to stop “their campaign of harassment and intimidation” against him.
Zacarias Moussaoui briefly borrowed phony beheading nonvictim David Pearl's laptop computer at the University of Oklahoma several years ago, before the photoshop beheading.
ReplyDeleteI hope this isn't pretending to be journalism ?
ReplyDeleteHow can you write so much about without a word of how he was tortured ?
After being waterboarded 183 he would have confessed to nailing Jesus to the cross!
Nobody wouldn't be mentally damaged after that much torture !
911 is unsolved crime.
This guy has no credibility whatsoever -- given 9/11 was not the work of Al Qaeda, it is clear that he already committed perjury.
ReplyDeleteNow he's admitting to a plot to assassinate Clinton - a gift to help Hitlery get elected in 2016, showing how terrorists hate the Clintons?
Author Nolan Clay .... a hired reporter to push Zionist clap trap. Sept 11 2001(Israel Bombing) attacks, he says - were done by 20 Mooselums that couldn't fly a single engined Cessna.--guy is an idiot nut case at large.
