Moussaoui Pleads Guilty
Trial Begins in Spain


Zacarias Moussaoui pled guilty Friday to September 11- related charges. But he appears actually to have been envisaged as a "second wave", and wanted to hijack a plane and fly it into the White House. Moussaoui is clearly mentally disturbed and his being unbalanced led to his arrest. He told the instructor at his flight school that he only wanted to learn to fly the plane, and was uninterested in knowing out to land!

The trial has begun in Spain of suspects there who may have been helping al-Qaeda.
