| Ashcroft sez Hamburg was center of Euro-al-Qaeda |
| 2001-10-23 |
Attorney General John Ashcroft says Hamburg, Germany, was "a central base of operations" for at least three of the Sept. 11 hijackers, including apparent ringleader Mohamad Atta, along with three alleged accomplices now being sought by American and German officials. At a joint press conference, Germany's Interior Minister Otto Schily issues a mea culpa for his country's failure to catch the suspects before Sept. 11: "We altogether failed. . . . We have to re-examine our security system." |
