Justice department will seek death penalty for Moussaoui Posted: Thursday, March 28, 10:13am EST The Justice Department will seek the death penalty for Zacarias Moussaoui if a jury finds the French citizen guilty of conspiring to kill thousands in the Sept. 11 attacks on America, according to court papers filed Thursday. In a move sure to spark new criticism from European nations opposed to capital punishment, Attorney General John Ashcroft rejected pleas from the French Justice Ministry not to seek a death sentence for Moussaoui, the only person so far charged in the United States for direct involvement in the Sept. 11 attacks. Ashcroft, the top US law enforcement official who must approve all federal death penalty cases, accepted the recommendation of his prosecutors in the Moussaoui case.
