Moussaoui's silence 'blocked chances to find 9/11 attackers'

US prosecutors rested their death penalty case against British-linked al-Qaida conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui today with the testimony of a former FBI agent.

Former agent Aaron Zebley claimed the chances of finding the September 11 hijackers before the attacks would have been increased if the defendant had confessed when he was first arrested instead of last year.
