Bin Laden says Moussaoui not part of Sept 11: tape
2006-05-23
DUBAI (Reuters) - Osama bin Laden said Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person convicted in a U.S. court for the September 11 attacks, had nothing to do with the operations, according to a Web site audiotape released on Tuesday.
well then, release the prisoner!
Bin Laden said he had personally assigned tasks to the 19 hijackers who staged the attacks on U.S. cities which killed about 3,000 people.
"I don't remember this Moosie or whatever his name is"
"The truth is that he has no connection whatsoever with the events of September 11. I am certain of what I say because I was responsible for entrusting the 19 brothers ... with the raids," said the speaker who sounded like the leader of Al Qaeda.

The authenticity of the tape could not be verified. It was posted on a Web site often used by Al Qaeda. Moussaoui was sentenced on May 4 to life in prison with no chance of release, ending 4-1/2 years of legal wrangling over his fate.
buh-bye!
The 37-year-old French citizen of Moroccan descent pleaded guilty last year to conspiracy in connection with the attacks, in which hijacked airliners were flown into buildings in New York City and Washington D.C.

Some U.S. officials initially said they believed Moussaoui was to have taken part in the September 11 attacks as a 20th hijacker. Others later said he was supposed to have been part of a second wave of attacks that were not carried out.
guilty? Innocent? guilty? I'm ssoooooo confused. Best thing is to assume they lie, as they usually do, and are permitted to by their book of lies. Lock his ass up on concrete furniture for life.

#7  I think if Bin Ladin is willing to testify under oath, then his testimony should be admitted as evidence.

#6   Well if Osama felt so strongly about Moussaoui's case, perhaps he should have offered to testify on his behalf ...

#5  Boy, you know you are in the stew when your only character witnesses are your mom and Osama bin Laden.

So what will it be, your Highness? The table saw? Or shall I fire up the radial arm?

#4  I, as King Frank, would've ordered a Craftsman lobotomy of this POS so that he couldn't feed himself or harm anyone, and sent him back to France...good thing I'm underemployed, eh? LOL

#3  Bin Laden said he had personally assigned tasks to the 19 hijackers who staged the attacks on U.S. cities which killed about 3,000 people.

But muslims will continue to claim he had nothing to do with it.

#2  Ok. Now as I recall right after 9/11 Binnie swore up and down he didn't have anything to do with it.

Now he says he personally appointed the 19 'brothers'.

So Bin Laden is a proven liar.

(I know... big suprise to us here at Rantburg.....)
