A Moroccan man Mounir el Motassadeq was sentenced to seven years in prison in Hamburg for belonging to a terrorist cell linked to three of the Sept. 11 hijackers. The court acquitted him of direct involvement and cited U.S. evidence shortfalls. The ruling came after a retrial following an overturned 2003 conviction.
