France tries trio over Djerba synagogue bombing

PARIS (AFP) — Two alleged Al-Qaeda kingpins and a third man go on
trial in Paris on Monday, accused of plotting the 2002 suicide bombing
of a historic synagogue in Tunisia that left 21 dead.
Held at the US Guantanamo prison camp, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will be
tried in absentia on terrorism charges but German national Christian
Ganczarski and Tunisian Walid Nawar, the bomber's brother, will be in
court.
Sheikh Mohammed, who has confessed to being the architect of the
September 11, 2001 attacks, is said to be Al-Qaeda's military
commander responsible for all foreign operations.
The trial before a Paris court specialising in terror offences will
focus much of its attention on Ganczarski, a German of Polish origin
who converted to Islam and allegedly played a leading role in Al-
Qaeda's network in Europe.
The trio are charged in France with "complicity in attempted murder in
relation to a terrorist enterprise" and face a maximum sentence of 20
years in jail if convicted of the April 11, 2002 attack.
On that day, suicide bomber Nizar Nawar detonated a fuel tanker rigged
with explosives in front of the Ghriba synagogue on the Tunisian
island of Djerba, killing 14 German tourists, five Tunisians and two
French nationals.
Nawar is alleged to have contacted both Ganczarski and Sheikh Mohammed
shortly before the bombing. Al-Qaeda has claimed responsibility for
the attack.
French and German investigators believe Ganczarski travelled several
times between 1999 and 2001 to the Pakistani-Afghan border to meet Al-
Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
The top operative, who was in regular contact with Sheikh Mohammed,
put his considerable expertise in radiocommunications and web
production at the service of Al-Qaeda and helped recruit members in
Europe, according to investigators.
Western intelligence agencies managed to track down Ganczarski after
intercepting a call from the Djerba suicide bomber's cell phone and he
was arrested in June 2003 at his arrival in France from Saudi Arabia.
Ganczarski is said to have given Nawar the green light to carry out
the attack during the phone call.
Tunisian national Walid Nawar is said to have helped his brother carry
out the Djerba bombing, notably by purchasing in France the cell phone
from which he called Ganczarski and Sheikh Mohammed.
The bomber's uncle, Belgacem Nawar, was convicted in Tunisia in June
2006 of involvement in the attack and sentenced to 20 years.
The uncle was found guilty of helping his nephew build the bomb -- a
large fuel container and detonator -- inside the truck.
The trial in Paris opens one month after Sheikh Mohammed appeared
before a US military tribunal in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to answer
charges that he was the mastermind behind the September 11, 2001
attacks.
The Paris trial is scheduled to end on February 6.
Two other suspects in the attack -- Jouar Suissi and Tarek Hdia -- are
to stand trial before a separate Paris court in February on minor
charges of violating immigration rules and possession of fake
documents.
