German Court Delays Verdict in 9 / 11 Trial

HAMBURG, Germany (AP) --<snip>The last-minute witness, who claimed to be a former Iranian intelligence agent who also worked for the CIA, told the court that Abdelghani Mzoudi not only helped but was directly involved in the plot.

German intelligence, however, delivered a scathing assessment of the credibility of the witness.

<snip>While Zakeri probably is a former Iranian agent, ``the value of his information is very low,'' the agency said in a statement read by the judge.<snip>


Presiding Judge Klaus Ruehle repeatedly pressed Zakeri for information on his source. But the bearded man with dark, curly hair and glasses who spoke quietly through an interpreter would only say the source was a ``very prominent'' person in Iran.

Zakeri said he agreed to work for the CIA in 1992 and had attended alleged meetings in July 2001 between senior al-Qaida figures and Iranian leaders. He said a few days before the Sept. 11 attack, he had tried to warn U.S. authorities that something was planned against the United States or Israel, but was not taken seriously. Zakeri's testimony prompted the court to delay a verdict until Thursday. It was originally scheduled for last week.<snip>

1. "something was planned

against The United States or Israel"

That covers a bit of geography, maybe a broad range of dates and more than a few scenarios. Hope he was a little more specific!
