German September 11 suspect has died, says al-Qaida leader

A German man believed to have provided logistical support to the Hamburg-based September 11 hijackers has died, according to a newly released audio message from the leader of al-Qaida.

The announcement by Ayman al-Zawahri (pictured) came in an audio message posted online in which he says a man he identifies as Zuhair al-Maghribi - who worked for As-Sahab, the terror network's media arm - is a "martyr".
