HAMBURG, Germany — A German court has ordered the release of a Moroccan convicted of belonging to a terrorist cell that included three Sept. 11 hijackers, a judicial official said Tuesday.
Mounir el Motassadeq was sentenced to seven years in prison last August by a court in Hamburg. City judicial spokesman Carsten Grote said Germany's Federal Constitutional Court has now ordered him released.
Grote did not give a reason for the higher court's decision.
