Moussaoui Setback in Supreme Court
Accused 9/11 defendant Zacarias Moussaoui has lost his bid to the Supreme Court to require that 3 alleged 9/11 participants be made available to him for interviews.
The defense has wanted to question Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the accused mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks; Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi, viewed as one of the financiers of the hijackings; and Ramzi bin al-Shaibah, who is suspected of coordinating them.
Defense attorneys said testimony from the al Qaeda captives could help prove Moussaoui was not involved in the attacks. The captives have been held as "enemy combatants" and have been interrogated overseas by the United States.
