ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) - Proclaiming "I am al-Qaida," terrorist conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui disrupted the opening of his sentencing trial Monday and was tossed out of court as selection began for the jurors who will decide whether he lives or dies.
He disavowed his lawyers and pledged to testify on his own behalf in the trial that is to begin March 6.
An often volatile figure in his proceedings, Moussaoui was removed from the courtroom four separate times. "This trial is a circus," he declared. "I want to be heard." Of his lawyers, he said: "These people do not represent me."
