Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | German 9/11 trial in doubt after US blocks witnesses
Don't be tellin' me that the Bush cabal really gives a fuck about terror. what could be so important that it can't be known? First they fuck up a case in Dertroit, now here. They out a mole in Al Qaeda. The muck with trials. They blackball 'whistleblowers' when they try to get warrants to search computers. And then they have the balls to say there'll be terror attacks 'round 'lection time. UGH
Guardian Unlimited Special reports German 9/11 trial in doubt after US blocks witnesses: "The retrial of a Moroccan man convicted of involvement in the September 11 attacks appeared to be in doubt last night after the Bush administration refused to allow two key al-Qaida suspects to give evidence.
On the first day of the new trial of Mounir el Motassadeq, a court in Hamburg was told that the US had refused to allow its al-Qaida suspects to be questioned in Germany.
Mr Motassadeq, 30, is accused of plotting the attacks in 2001 together with Mohamed Atta and other members of Hamburg's al-Qaida cell.
Washington's announcement came as Mr Motassadeq's defence lawyer tried to have the case thrown out. Josef Graessle-Muenscher told the court it would be impossible to find out what had really happened on September 11 because al-Qaida suspects in US custody had probably been tortured. "
