This is the kind of terrorist that needs to be put away forever. He gets seven years, and will be out and looking to kill us much sooner. German Court Convicts Man as Part of 9/11 Cell By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Published: August 19, 2005 Filed at 11:31 a.m. ET HAMBURG, Germany (AP) -- A Moroccan man accused of helping the Sept. 11 hijackers was convicted Friday of membership in a terrorist organization but was acquitted of direct involvement in the attacks on the United States. After a yearlong retrial, the Hamburg state court sentenced Mounir el Motassadeq to seven years in prison for membership in the al-Qaida cell that included suicide pilots Mohamed Atta, Marwan al-Shehhi and Ziad Jarrah. However, it acquitted him of more than 3,000 counts of accessory to murder, ruling the evidence did not show the 31-year-old was specifically involved in the Sept. 11, 2001, plot. Prosecutor Walter Hemberger welcomed the ruling against el Motassadeq, who in 2003 became the first person anywhere to be convicted in connection with the attacks. But he said he would appeal the acquittal on the accessory to murder charges." nytimes.com
