Zacarias Moussaoui is the only person to be prosecuted in connection with the terrorist attacks of September 11 2001 and has been found by a jury to be eligible for the death penalty.The 37-year-old French citizen pleaded guilty in April last year to conspiring with al-Qaida to hijack aircraft and other crimes.Moussaoui was in jail during the attacks having been arrested in Minnesota a month before the attacks after arousing suspicion at a flying school. He initially told federal agents he was training as a pilot only for personal enjoyment. Reports have suggested that Moussaoui would prefer the death penalty rather than life in prison and regards himself as a martyr.If the death penalty is thought justified should he be executed or made to see the rest of his life out in prison?
