9/11 Images Introduced In Moussaoui Trial

[AGENDA21]

(AP) ALEXANDRIA, Va. Prosecutors seeking Zacarias Moussaoui's execution introduced gruesome evidence of the horrors of terrorism Tuesday showing pictures of burned and blackened bodies from the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the Pentagon.

Over the objections of defense attorneys and despite warnings by a federal judge that such a strategy could backfire, government lawyers displayed for jurors the most gut-wrenching evidence yet in a sentencing trial studded with one horrific image after another.

The photos were of the attack at the Defense Department, very near where the jurors are sitting. Each picture was displayed for just a few seconds each. They showed mostly intact bodies with facial features still discernible. One torso, covered with white ash, looked more like an ancient statue.

"Burn all Pentagon next time," a defiant Moussaoui shouted as he was led out of the courtroom for a lunch break.

1. The prosecution doesn't need to tell us what happended on September 11

We already know.

They need to prove Moussaoui had something to do with it. Showing pictures of a plane lodged into the Pentagon proves Moussaoui's guilt how?
