Last September, Barack Obama vetoed legislation that would have allowed family members of 9/11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia for complicity in the 9/11 atrocity. That veto was overwhelmingly overridden by huge majorities in both the House and Senate. A new lawsuit against Saudi Arabia has been filed by over 800 victims’ family members. Zacarias Moussaoui, the “twentieth hijacker”, has agreed to testify against Saudi Arabia.
Via Breitbart:
A convicted jihadist serving a life sentence in federal prison as the “20th hijacker” in the September 11, 2001, attacks on the U.S. homeland has reportedly offered to testify during the 9/11 trial to “expose the Saudi Royal double game with” the late al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
His offer comes as hundreds of families have filed a lawsuit that, unlike others, contains a detailed account of Saudi Arabia’s role in the 9/11 attacks.“I am willing to fully testify on the 9/11 case, even if I was charge on the death penalty case as it incriminate me,” Zacarias Moussaoui, self-identified as “Slave of Allah,” said in broken English in a hand-written letter.
“My take is he would like to be in the spotlight and is bored in solitary,” Edward MacMahon, the terrorist’s former defense attorney told the Miami Herald.
In response to his allegations, the Saudi Embassy has labeled the French-born U.S. prisoner as a “deranged criminal.”
Besides “Slave of Allah,” he also signs his filings as an “Enemy Combatant,” which he reportedly is not.
Currently, the 48-year-old Moussaoui is serving life behind bars at the SuperMax prison in Florence, Colorado.
The jihadist pleaded guilty in federal court to six 9/11 attacks-linked conspiracy charges in 2005.
According to the Pentagon’s war court website, Moussaoui has written at least three times to Army Col. James L. Pohl handling the September 11 mass-murder case, which still has no trial date.
Judge Pohl has not confirmed receiving the terrorist’s letter, noted the Herald.
