Mosque Used by Sept. 11 Attackers Shut Down -Kirsten Grieshaber
A mosque in Hamburg once frequented by Sept. 11 attackers [pictured] was shut down and searched because German authorities believed the prayer house was again being used as a meeting point for Islamic radicals.
"We have closed the mosque because it was a recruiting and meeting point for Islamic radicals who wanted to participate in so-called jihad or holy war," said Frank Reschreiter, a spokesman for the Hamburg state interior ministry.
The ministry said the mosque had become a magnet for so-called jihad tourists - Muslims from out of town who bragged about having worshipped at the same mosque used by the Sept. 11 terrorists.
