The Washington Post is reporting that Zacarias Moussaoui has notified the government that he intends to plead guilty to his alleged role in the Sept. 11 attacks. Moussaoui’s plan to plead guilty reportedly comes over his attorneys’ objections. A judge will be meeting with Moussaoui later this week to determine if he is mentally competent to enter a plea. Moussaoui entered a guilty plea in 2002 and then rescinded it a week later. His trial has been delayed numerous times in the 40 months since he was indicted. Moussaoui was arrested a month before the Sept. 11 attacks — after a flight instructor in Minnesota alerted the FBI to what appeared to be suspicious behavior. At one point the government had concluded Moussaoui was meant to be the 20th hijacker. But officials have since concluded that the planners of the Sept. 11th attacks ended up leaving Moussoui out of the final plan because they viewed him as too unstable. Moussoui will likely face the death penalty if he pleads guilty.
