Roommate told FBI of Moussaoui interest in holy war

A former roommate of confessed al-Qaida terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui told FBI agents that Moussaoui had expressed an interest in holy war and believed Muslims were within their rights to kill infidels, according to US court testimony.

A videotaped deposition of Hussein al-Attas, who lived with Moussaoui in 2001 in Oklahoma and was with Moussaoui in Minnesota in August 2001 when he was arrested by federal agents, was to be played for the jury today when Moussaoui’s death-penalty trial resumes in Alexandria, Virginia.
