Imprisoned 9/11 Terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui Fears Execution If Trump Wins, Requests Transfer to France; Republicans Warn Biden Against Transferring 9/11 Terrorist Moussaoui to France

Exclusive: Imprisoned 9/11 Terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui Fears Execution If Trump Wins, Requests Transfer to France:

“Instead your Honor might concur that there is a possibility if not a probability that if the Ex US President Donald Trump was to be reelected He will sentence me to death by presidential executive order.”

Zacarias Moussaoui was convicted and is serving a life sentence in the federal SuperMax facility in Colorado for being part of the 9/11 airliner hijacking operation that killed more than 3,000 citizens and destroyed the World Trade Center towers in New York.

You can read his indictment here.

A quick recap of his part in the terrorist mayhem from the Associated Press:

Zacarias Moussaoui remains the only person ever convicted in a U.S. court in connection with the Sept. 11 attacks….

Moussaoui was arrested in August 2001, before the attacks, when his efforts to obtain advanced flight training drew suspicion. He was charged [that] December as being a member of the al-Qaida conspiracy that carried out the attacks that killed 3,000 people….

Moussaoui actually pleaded guilty to the charges against him, so the 2006 trial was simply to determine whether his sentence would be life in prison or death. In the first phase of the trial, prosecutors had to prove that Moussaoui’s role in the conspiracy led to the deaths of Sept. 11 victims, making him eligible for the death penalty.

Once he was determined to be eligible, the jury then considered whether he deserved the death penalty.

The jury found him eligible for execution, but one of 12 jurors voted for life in prison rather than execution. That was enough to keep Moussaoui off death row; he’s serving a life sentence in Colorado.

Recently, we received a tip from a reader who lost a family member on 9/11 that Moussaoui had requested a transfer to France, and the reader was concerned that once there he may be released by the French. The reader pointed out that there was zero press coverage.

A little digging reveals that our reader was correct: there is literally not one news story regarding this anywhere in any media we could find despite it being a huge story. —>READ MORE HERE

Republicans warn Biden against transferring 9/11 terrorist Moussaoui to France

The only person convicted in the 9/11 terrorist attacks wants to serve out the remainder of his life sentence in France, but Republicans are having none of it.

Sens. Marco Rubio and Rick Scott of Florida led a letter telling President Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland that “under no conditions should this terrorist be granted the privilege of returning to his homeland.”

“No consideration whatsoever should be given to this convicted terrorist’s preferences for where to serve his sentence for his heinous crimes, and we demand that you swiftly deny his transfer request and force him to spend the remainder of his pathetic life imprisoned in the country he and his fellow terrorists attacked 23 years ago,” said the Thursday letter signed by a dozen GOP senators.

Zacarias Moussaoui, 56, serving his sentence at the Administrative Maximum Facility in Florence, Colorado, has asked a federal judge to transfer him to France, saying he worries that he will be executed if former President Donald Trump wins the November election.

In their letter, the senators said nothing can bring back the nearly 3,000 people killed on Sept. 11, 2001, but that the “surviving family members of the victims should be able to expect that our government will keep Moussaoui confined in an American prison for the entirety of his life sentence without the possibility of release or transfer.” —>READ MORE HERE
