“20th hijacker” says “Saudi prince” aided his jihad activities

Nov 8, 2014 11:09 am By Robert Spencer

Zacarias Moussaoui-1378214Moussaoui might be singular among all the jihadis who are described as being mentally ill, in that he may really be mentally ill. Nonetheless, there is nothing immediately implausible about these claims.

“Imprisoned terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui wants to testify in Oklahoma City federal court,” by Nolan Clay, NewsOK, November 5, 2014:

An admitted al-Qaida terrorist in prison for the 9/11 attacks is asking to testify in Oklahoma City federal court about a plot to shoot down Air Force One and to assassinate former President Bill Clinton.

Zacarias Moussaoui also is claiming a Saudi prince assisted him in Norman in “my Islamic Terrorist activities” there in 2001. Moussaoui took flight lessons at a Norman flight school in 2001 as part of his plan to pilot a plane into a building.

“I am ready to testify about all the above and more in your court in an Open Hearing that I request,” he wrote by hand in a four-page pleading.

Moussaoui, 46, is serving a life sentence without the possibility of release at the federal supermax penitentiary in Florence, Colo. The French citizen often has been referred to in media accounts as “the 20th hijacker.”

He was arrested in Minnesota in August 2001 after raising suspicions at a flight school there. He was still in custody on Sept. 11, 2001, when 19 suicidal al-Qaida hijackers took control of four planes.

Moussaoui often has made bizarre statements since his arrest. A defense psychologist concluded he was a paranoid schizophrenic who suffered from delusions.

He pleaded guilty in April 2005 to a federal terrorism case, admitting a role in the al-Qaida conspiracy that resulted in “the deaths of thousands of persons on Sept. 11, 2001.”

At the time of his guilty plea, he claimed that al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden had personally approved him to pilot a plane into the White House at a later date.

At a 2006 trial over his punishment, he changed his account, saying his role was to fly a fifth plane — into the White House — on Sept. 11, 2001. After the trial, he went back to his original account, stating he was to have been involved in a later al-Qaida operation.

Jurors at the trial were unable to agree on the death penalty and chose life in prison as his punishment. Three jurors concluded Moussaoui “had limited knowledge of the 9/11 attack plans.”

His request to testify in Oklahoma City federal court is highly unusual and almost certainly will be rejected.

He also is asking an Oklahoma City federal judge to order the warden of the Colorado supermax penitentiary and another official to stop “their campaign of harassment and intimidation” against him.

He is seeking to be relocated, complaining his cell is freezing, and infested by rodents. He asked to be moved away from a prison unit he described as a “Saudi stronghold.” He claims another inmate attacked him in June on the orders of convicted terrorist Ramzi Yousef to try to prevent him from testifying “against the Saudis.” Yousef is imprisoned at the supermax penitentiary in Colorado for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

    I agree Richie, Islam has made him sub-human. We all know Saudi Arabia was behind 9/11, it should have been invaded instead of Iraq.

      Saudi Arabia doesn’t want him either. He may have embarrassing secrets about them.

      The Republican Party would prefer to see Texas given to Mexico than a finger lifted against Saudi Arabia.

      That oil money has America bought, lock, stock and barrel.

    Take away his prayer mat today and help wash his WWMD insanity away.
    Freaky Friday Muslim prayers at the local mosque or jail cell have always been scrubbed in buckets of blood.

    Whoa!!! Look at the frontal lobe damage on that guy! Muslim prayer mode leads directly to lack of empathy and shared humanity.

      ‘you shall recognize the mark of the beast on their foreheads’

      “It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads,” [forced conversion, to bend to Allah]
      “and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.…” [jizya]

      the beast seeks to imitate God (cf. Revelation 3:12, “I will write upon him my new name;” Revelation 22:4, “His name shall be in their foreheads;” Revelation 7:3; Revelation 9:4; Revelation 14:1).

    A very DEVOUT follower – and understander – of Islam. Note the aweful zebibah on his forehead. Allah’s ‘gift’ for diligently praying 5 times, or more, a day! What a ‘spiritually dark’ looking individual he is. Pure evil, as was Muhammad!

  7. Dave J says

    Nov 8, 2014 at 12:58 pm

    I would argue that all devout, literal true believers of Islam are by definition paranoid schizophrenics. That is what makes them so unpleasant and dangerous.

    He asked to be moved away from a prison unit he described as a “Saudi stronghold.” He claims another inmate attacked him in June on the orders of convicted terrorist Ramzi Yousef to try to prevent him from testifying “against the Saudis.”

    Thirteen years later, it is becoming much clearer that the 9/11 attacks were commissioned by SAUDI ARABIA as part of a well-thought out plan to transition to the INTIMIDATION PHASE OF WORLDWIDE ISLAMIZATION.

    The expanded initiative started by 9/11 had been preceded by decades of Saudi influence-buying and neutralization of dissenting voices throughout the highest levels of the government apparatus (including the Bush and Clinton families), media and academia.

    Remember: the aim of Islamization is not necessarily to create devout believers. Much more important in Muslim eyes is to establish the worldwide SUPREMACY of Islam and the demeaning dhimmi status of infidels.

    From memory, an article on this site some time ago pointed out that 60% of Muslims in the U.S. came here after 9/11/2001.

    Possibly a prayer rug with a cushion attached – might help clear his mind a bit!

    When the Saudi royals were accused at the time of aiding and abetting – in the 911 terror attack – there was no such term as ‘Islamophobic’ – but there was an effort by those – including the First Lady – to rally around the Saudis in a similar fashion.

    Someone sponsored it.

    Moussaoui stood out ~ and was eventually arrested because he wasn’t that smart. He probably would have been one of the ones holding the box-cutter.

    If one gets picked off – gets arrested – in their view ~ captured by the enemy – no one has details of the entire plan.

    Here is a link there are many like it. This one states the C.I.A leaked a report implicating Saudi Arabia in 9/11. The Bush family which loves that Saudi c*ck helped white wash and cover up what happened. Remember when many members of the Bin Laden family got flown out of the country after 9/11.

    Look at the nice leather seat he is sitting on. Believers should only ride 1st class when commuting with the kafir.

    Allah blessed him with looks!

      And deadened his eyes – the look they all share once they have become their dark master’s servants.

    “Saudi prince” aided his jihad activities!!!

    Nothing new here. Unlike our compromised “leaders”, we, the people, KNOW that the Saudis were behind 9/11 and behind the rise of stealth and violent jihad in the West and elsewhere.
    Today, with ISIS at their doorstep, the Saudis are tasting their own medicine. Today, the Saudis are siding with Egypt in its fight against the Muslim Brotherhood thugs and their offshoots, the beast they themselves have created in the first place.

    666 mark,eheheh,yeah that means 6+6+6 or 6×3=18 = (mohammad=8) + (bn=2) + (abdullah=8) all is equal to 18,hence the mark “666” 6+6+6=18.

    EEEYUUUCCCKKKKK! My god why are all these guys so nasty and ugly looking?! It must be that we are viewing their insides on the outside! Murderous baby raping animals that they are.. I guess that ugly mark on his primordial forehead is a prayer burn from his rug?! Very pious…very pious indeed while they plot the murder of U.S. citizens who as a society has helped more muslim countries financially than all the other western democracies.. Talking hurricane earthquake natural disasters all.. Every humanitarian act we have helped them with is paid back with treachery, murder, rape and pedophilia… What an accursed “ideology” I refuse to call it a religion … Just seeing this ape ugly terrorist makes me so angry that he is still alive! He needs a firing squad quick!
