Moroccan Arrested in France Over Sept. 11 Attacks
A Moroccan man wanted in connection with the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States has been arrested in France, a judicial source said on Thursday.Karim Mehdi, 34, was arrested Sunday. Thursday, he was put under official investigation -- one step short of pressing charges in France -- for "participation in an association of criminals linked to terrorist activities." The source said Mehdi was connected to a cell in Hamburg accused of planning the attacks. The cell also included Mohamed Atta, who U.S. authorities say piloted one of the two planes that crashed into the World Trade Center in the September 11 attacks. Posted by: Steve 2003-06-05 |
