Feds Allege Link Between Moussaoui to Flight 93 Hijacker

In a document filing today in support of the government's request to admit two tapes of cockpit recordings pertaining to Flight 93 against Zacarias Moussaoui at trial, federal prosecutors allege a link between Moussaoui to Flight 93 Hijacker Ziad Jarrah

The Government said the voice of one of the hijackers on the tape has been identified as Zaid Jarrah. "They said they could link Jarrah to Moussaoui because they found one of Jarrah's business cards in the rubble in Pennsylvania with a phone number written on back. Phone records showed Moussaoui had called that number, they said."

Moussaoui and his lawyers argue that playing the recording in court would be "highly inflammatory."

The issue will be ruled upon by Judge Leonie Brinkema who previously has indicated that she thinks the recordings are of marginal value and are highly prejudicial.
