Germany May Retain Terror Evidence
Sun Sep 1, 9:15 AM ET

BERLIN (AP) - Germany has told the United States it will withhold evidence against Sept. 11 conspiracy defendant Zacarias Moussaoui unless it receives assurances that the material won't be used to secure a death penalty against him, Germany's justice minister said in remarks released Saturday.

Investigators suspect Moussaoui, who is awaiting trial in Virginia on charges of conspiracy to commit terrorism and murder federal employees, was training to become the pilot of one of the airliners hijacked for the attacks when he was arrested.

German prosecutors say he received money for flight school fees from a member of the terrorist group based in the northern city of Hamburg. But the government insists it can't bend laws forbidding the extradition of suspects to countries with the death penalty or supplying evidence that could incriminate someone facing execution.  

In an interview with the Der Spiegel news weekly, Justice Minister Herta Daeubler-Gmelin said Germany would provide documents on Moussaoui to the United States on condition that they "may not be used for a death sentence or an execution."

Outlawing the death penalty is a requirement for membership of the 15-member European Union.

So are we gonna add the f@cking ex-Nazi, now-Socialist nation of Germany to the list of foreign States known to be protecting terrorists?

Regardless if they submit the information to the US, the scumbag will never see the light of day again.

For what he did, he deserves the death penalty, hes scum,and a murderer.

Yeah I saw this on the news earlier.

These guys incinerate 3000+ US citizens and these assclowns are worried that one of those responsible might get the death penalty??!!

Those europeans,boy!They're our good friends aren't they?

I hate to keep bringing up old debts,but every time we're denied simple justice or curtesy from these euro's so as not to ruffle their socialist sensibilities I can't help but remember what we did for them at the close of WW2.

Is it really to much to ask?

Every European country will not send our criminals back to the US if they face execution. Even our "ally" and neighbor, Canada, won't. This is a UN-style violation of our sovereignty. WTF isn't Dubya putting his foot down?!

Lets face it, the Euro's DONT LIKE OUR CONSTITUTION. Another reminder of why the US needs to get out of the UN and Vice Versa.


Cant have other countries tell us how to run our country.

That's gratitude for ya. I wonder how much other vital intel they are holding back. Mohammed Atta did spend a good amount of time in Germany before the 9/11.

Except for England, it's going to take a major event in the EU before they pull their collective heads out of their butts and do the right thing.

"Smoke and Mirrors" boys, your falling for smoke and mirrors, your PO'd because of some article on Yahoo when if you were interested enough in the TRUTH about 9/11 you'd be PO'd that their investigations have had nothing to do with the involvment of the Pakistani ISI or Saudia Arabia, [b]where according to the late former FBI Deputy Director, John O'Neill , the real source of Bin Laden's network lies[/b].

Ya want to know about 9/11, read this thread, [url]http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=139732&w=searchPop[/url] and get yourself a copy of this book and others referenced in it.
