ALEXANDRIA, Virginia: The US Government has admitted there was no evidence to back Zacarias Moussaoui's dramatic courtroom confession that he was to have been a key player in the 9/11 attacks.
The revelation, at the al-Qa'ida plotter's death penalty trial, undercut Moussaoui's claim that he and British shoebomber Richard Reid were to have hit the White House with a fifth hijacked jet in the September 11, 2001, attacks.
It came on the final day of evidence in the gruelling, emotional trial. On Monday, jurors will be handed the task of deciding whether Moussaoui should be put to death over the strikes, which killed almost 3000 people. Prosecutors yesterday targeted defence claims the Frenchman was a paranoid schizophrenic, suffering from delusions, and called a forensic psychiatrist, who denied he was mentally ill.
