Syrian-born terror suspect standing trial
2006-10-19
A Syrian-born German terror suspect who is suspected of recruiting September 11 suicide hijacker Mohamed Atta for al-Qaida has been put on trial in Damascus and could face the death penalty, according to a report released Wednesday. The trial of Mohammed Haydar Zammar, 45, opened in a Damascus security court on October 8, according to a report by German ARD public television's main news program, Tagesschau.

Zammar was questioned by German authorities following the September 11, 2001, attacks, but was freed for lack of evidence. He then traveled in October 2001 to Morocco and was captured in December. Zammar is widely believed to have to have introduced Atta and the two other Hamburg-based September 11 pilots - Ziad Jarrah and Marwan al-Shehhi - to leaders of Osama bin Laden's organization in Afghanistan, where they all received training.

#11  I'm guessing the curly hair makes for more efficient cleaning of camel rectums.

Any chance they will hang him in public at Ground Zero?

#10  Don't fall for it TW. 5089 lives in the French Alps, can afford to eat and drink well and has a reliable dope source. He's a Babe magnet.

#9  Silly a5089, you have a very handsome brain. I'm sure you don't look vaguely puzzled by the world as you peer through your glasses trying to understand what everyone else is talking about so quickly. Bestir yourself and get some fashionable new spectacles. After all, you live in France, fashion capitol of the world... even if you are at the back of the beyond in the French Alps. ;-)

#8  He does have a vaugely simian hairline doesn't he. And I see no evidence whatsoever of a neck.

#7  and he really needs a new pair of glasses in a shape that doesn't hearken back to the early 1990s

That's very hard on me, because I have about the same glasses, originally found at a bus stop back in the early 90's, by the way... and when I let myself go, I have the same hair/beard, different color though... would he be my long-lost Evil Twin, by any chance?

#4  Actually, it may not be the hairstyle, but a really bad rug -- the colour and curliness in the top-front don't match the top sides (I don't mean at the temples, which sometimes silvers first in men), and the hairline is a bit odd.

#3  Yes. Also, the hairstyle makes him look mildly hydrocephalic, and he really needs a new pair of glasses in a shape that doesn't hearken back to the early 1990s.
