9/11 terror suspect faces final verdict HAMBURG, Germany, Jan. 5 (UPI) -- Moroccan suspected terrorist Mounir al-Motassadeq faces up to 15 years in prison in his re-trial in the northern German city of Hamburg. A German court had previously found him guilty of accessory to murder on 246 counts in connection with the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, after an appeal from federal prosecutors, who felt his earlier prison sentence of seven years for membership in a terrorist organization was too short. The Hamburg court will now in five hearings have to decide upon a sentence, which observers say could be extended to 15 years. The trial opened Thursday. Hamburg is an infamous terror spot: The port city was home to the terror cell under Mohammed Atta that perpetrated and enacted the 9/11 attacks. Motassadeq, 32, knew several members of the Hamburg cell. In 2003, Motassadeq had already been convicted and sentenced to 15 years in jail for aiding to murder more than 3,000 people and for belonging to a terrorist group. That verdict, however, was later overturned by a German court because U.S. authorities denied the Germans access to a witness in U.S. custody that would potentially have disencumbered him.
