WASHINGTON -- A federal judge has selected six sites for survivors and relatives of victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks to watch the death penalty phase in the case against Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person charged in the United States in the 2001 plot.
The proceedings will be broadcast via closed-circuit television to federal courthouses in Manhattan and Long Island, N.Y.; Newark, N.J.; Philadelphia; Boston; and Alexandria, Va., US District Judge Leonie Brinkema said in an order yesterday.
The selection of the sites is the latest development in the case against Moussaoui, 37, who pleaded guilty in April to being part of a broad, radical Islamist conspiracy to fly planes into US buildings.
