German Court Won't Detain Mzoudi
2003-12-23
A Moroccan charged with aiding the Hamburg al-Qaida cell that included three of the Sept. 11 hijackers can remain free while his trial continues, a court announced Tuesday, rejecting prosecutors' request to return the suspect to custody.
"Yeah. Go on. Have a beer or something..."
The Hamburg state court freed Abdelghani Mzoudi Dec. 11 after German federal investigators presented records of comments believed to have been made by Sept. 11 suspect Ramzi Bin al-shibh. It said only four people in Hamburg knew of the attack plot - and Mzoudi was not among them. Prosecutors lost a federal appeal against the decision Friday. On Tuesday, the Hamburg court said it had denied their second request to re-arrest Mzoudi, made after a federal agent testified last week that German authorities have more evidence against him. A court statement said the suspicions against Mzoudi remain not serious enough to warrant custody.

#6  Do you really think we want this guy to walk if he's guilty of something?

Josak Fischer: "Of course Saddam is a dictator and what he has done to his people is evident..." [fischer] added that the international community should continue to use sanctions against Iraq to enforce compliance of Security Council resolutions.

As a matter of fact, I DO think there are people in germany, some of them holding ministerial rank in the government, who want to see this guy walk. What's a few hundred thousand in mass graves to fischer if he can stick it to Bush?

#5  The WOT is against the jihadis not against each other. Be patient; most of them will be iced soon enough.

#4  There will be guys that you can't get without losing more bigger fish. When he walks follow and see if he goes anyplace interesting. He will probably incriminate himself and others in another way shortly enough.

#3  The U.S. can't withhold EVERY evidence of substance, then send a fax that Binalshib sez Mzoudi wasn't involved and THEN expect our courts to convict him.

Sorry folks. Blame Ashcroft, not us. Just saying that "ummm we have some evidence but you can't have any of it" just doesn't cut it. Secrecy does only go that far.

Do you really think we want this guy to walk if he's guilty of something?

#2  Great, now he can do that Christmas thing in the States. Thanks, germany.

If this mutt is involved in any attacks on us during the Holidays, maybe schroeder and fischer need to find an emtpy septic tank to hide in.

#1  Let us take a lesson from the Mossad. How many living members of the Black Semptember Movement are still drawing breath.
