Moussaoui wants 'Muslim grave'
Self confessed terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui, who is on trial for conspiracy in the September 11 attacks, said he wants to be buried in a Muslim land if executed. Moussaoui asked for Muslim professor Sadiq Reza to aid his plea and "follow up the issue". "I wanted to ask Professor Reza ... to make sure that my body will be buried in a Muslim land," Moussaoui told US District Judge Leonie Brinkema last week. Otherwise, "I will be buried in Arkansas [or else] they don't give a damn [where]", Moussaoui told the judge in the closed session. Moussaoui had said in the courtroom last week that he would "fight every inch against the death penalty," but in a private meeting with the judge two days earlier, seemed resigned to the possibility of execution.
