DW: Germany deports convicted 9/11 accomplice Motassadeq to Morocco
The 9/11 attacks were led by a group of young men who met in Hamburg. Only one of them has ever been convicted: Mounir el-Motassadeq. He's now being sent to Morocco. DW traces his story.
Mounir el-Motassadeq was collected from his German jail cell, where he had spent almost 15 years, on Monday, ready for deportation to Morocco.
