[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 152 (2006), Part 4] [Senate] [Page 4719] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]ZACARIAS MOUSSAOUI Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, today at 4 p.m. the jury in the Zacarias Moussaoui trial rendered their verdict that Mr. Moussaoui is eligible for the death penalty. It is reported that after the judge and jurors left the courtroom, Moussaoui shouted his defiance and declared his unyielding enmity toward this country. Although none of us gets any satisfaction from the Moussaoui ordeal, I believe the jury delivered the just and appropriate verdict and I thank them for their service to their country. In April of last year, Moussaoui pleaded guilty to conspiring with al-Qaeda to commit acts of terrorism using weapons of mass destruction and other terror-related crimes. He shares responsibility for the most heinous act of terrorism against America: Three thousand innocent Americans were murdered. Their loss is still a gaping wound in our hearts. Nothing will ever bring these innocent Americans back, but today Zacarias Moussaoui received what he would deny all of us. Today justice was served. ____________________
