| Post; Man Linked To 9/11 Plot Loses Appeal Arizona Daily Star (Tucson)
May 12, 2007 Germany
BERLIN — A Moroccan convicted of helping three of the Sept. 11 suicide pilots in their plot lost his final chance to appeal in Germany when the country's top criminal court announced Friday that it had refused to hear his case.
Mounir el Motassadeq, 33, was convicted in November of being an accessory to the murder of the 246 passengers and crew members on the four jetliners used in the 2001 terrorist attacks in the U.S. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison, the maximum penalty possible under German law.
