Moussaoui allowed in court after outbursts

Confessed al-Qaida conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui was unexpectedly allowed to re-enter the federal courtroom in Virginia today for the selection of a jury to decide whether he is executed or imprisoned for life.

Judge Leonie Brinkema had ordered Moussaoui barred from jury selection at a hearing yesterday because he refused to maintain courtroom decorum and seemed determined to keep giving insult-laden speeches.
