Moussaoui's mother blames France for not fighting for son

Zacarias Moussaoui’s mother today blamed France for not fighting harder for her son’s case, and said his race and his colour were partly to blame for the US jury’s decision to sentence him to life in prison over the September 11 attacks.

“My son will be buried alive because France didn’t dare contradict the Americans,” Aicha El Wafi told reporters in Paris, where she had returned after a trip to the United States.
