A Moroccan accused of helping the Sept. 11 suicide hijackers was part of a group that raged against the United States “because it defends Israel” and himself approved of Hitler’s extermination of the Jews, witnesses testified Wednesday.
Sudanese student Ahmed Maglad, 30, testified he met defendant Mounir el Motassadeq while living in Hamburg in 1997 and through him met lead suicide pilot Mohamed Atta, who he said was “aggressively religious” and was always trying to “prove something.” Maglad told the Hamburg state court he also knew Ramzi Binalshibh, the suspected contact between al-Qaida and the Hamburg cell that included three of the suicide pilots.
