Summary:"I would say that England is responsible for many things because it allowed this fever to spread around the country,'' she told the Canadian television channel CBC. "These young people go to England, and then they scream hatred and vengeance in front of mosques. They let the fever spread.'' His brother, Abd-Samad, agreed: "I believe that Britain has fed a snake at its bosom, and has been bitten by the snake.'' The statements clearly contain some truth. But during his trial the court heard that [ZACARIAS Moussaoui] had a "violent and unstable'' childhood in France, spent large amounts of time in orphanages, saw his mother beaten by his father, a boxer, and was rejected by his girlfriend's family as "a dirty Arab''. There was no response until two days after the attacks, when the British said they had new information indicating that Moussaoui attended al-Qa'eda camps. America's September 11 commission noted: "Had this information been available in late August 2001, the Moussaoui case would almost certainly have received intense and much higher-level attention.''
