US Judge Leonie Brinkema sent Zacarias Moussaoui to prison for life today, to “die with a whimper,” for his role in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani appeared today at the trial where a jury is considering whether admitted al-Qaida conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui should be put to death in connection with the September 11, 2001 attacks.

A US jury has found al-Qaida conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui eligible to be executed and decided that his lies to FBI agents led directly to at least one death in the terrorist attacks of September 11 2001.
