Imprisoned at. ADX Florence. Zacarias Moussaoui ( Arabic: زŮŘąŮا Ů ŮŘłŮŮ, ZakariyyÄ MĹŤsawÄŤ; born May 30, 1968) is a French citizen who as a member of al-Qaeda pleaded guilty in U.S. federal court to conspiring to kill citizens of the United States as part of the September 11 attacks.
On April 3, 2006, Moussaoui was found to be eligible for the death penalty.
Moussaoui, charged with conspiring to hijack planes and crash them into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, was in jail in Minnesota when the Sept. 11 attacks unfolded. In seeking a death sentence, prosecutors were required to prove that he "intentionally participated in an act ... and the victim died as a direct result of the act." Moussaoui admitted he knew about the attacks and did nothing to stop them.
Aicha el-Wafi, Moussaoui's mother, was 14 when she was married to a man that she did not previously know, in Morocco. Five years later, Moussaoui's parents moved to France, where he was born. After enduring domestic violence, his mother left his father Omar while her four children were still young. She raised her children on a cleaner's wages. There was no religious education within the family. Witnesses testified at Moussaui's trial that, as first-generation immigrants from Morocco, the family frequently faced racism in their new country. From 1982, Moussaoui, his brother and sisters, were brought up in a bungalow on the edge of the town of Narbonne. His mother has said that she believes two 'wounding' incidents in his French adolescence contributed to the formation of an extremist sensibility: the first the day that his school careers adviser pushed him towards minor, technical studies, with "the clear implication that he was only an Arab and would need nothing more," and the second the day that the father of his teenage sweetheart warned him off because he was an Arab. "Don't think that you will ever get your feet under my table," the man said. "
During his time in Norman, Moussaoui had a roommate named Hussein al-Attas. On August 11, 2001, Hussein al-Attas drove Moussaoui to Minnesota from Oklahoma. Hussein al-Attas said that he and Moussaoui planned to take a trip to New York City in late August/early September 2001.

One of the principal goals of al Qaeda was to drive the United States armed forces out of Saudi Arabia (and elsewhere on the Saudi Arabian peninsula) and Somalia by violence . Members of al Qaeda issued fatwahs (rulings on Islamic law) indicating that such attacks were both proper and necessary. 4.
The group was founded by Usama Bin Laden and Muhammad Atef, a/k/a "Abu Hafs al Masry," together with "Abu Ubaidah al Banshiri," and others. From in or about 1989 until the present, the group called itself "al Qaeda" ("the Base").

Hereâs a look at the life of convicted terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui, who is serving a life sentence in prison without parole for his part in plotting the 9/11 attacks.
Despite the name-calling, the defense counsel soldiered onâthough Dunham had to drop out before the trial because of brain cancer. It took his life last year. So that Moussaoui couldnât gloat over the misfortune of his lead lawyer, Dunhamâs illness was never mentioned in court.
In the Moussaoui case, Dunham brought on Gerald Zerkin, 53, from the public defenderâs Richmond office. Zerkin had battled the prosecutionâs death penalty specialist, Assistant U.S. Attorney David Novak, in three previous capital cases, winning life sentences in each. Edward MacMahon, 42, a dapper lawyer from the hunt country of Middleburg, Va., was appointed by the court to assist. Ironically, when President George W. Bush took office, MacMahon had been on the short list as a potential U.S. attorney in the Eastern District. Also appointed by the court was Alexandria solo practitioner Alan Yamamoto, 57, whose parents had been sent to a Japanese internment camp during World War II. The way Muslim-Americans were treated after 9/11 made him think âhistory has not taught anybody anything,â he told a reporter.
It went downhill from there. Moussaoui said he wanted to testify in front of a grand juryâ a rather novel strategy for most defendantsâbut he said prosecutors wouldnât let him. âNow they are evading because they know that I have specific allegation and the knowledge of ongoing conspiracy, and they donât want me to speak about,â he said.
