ALEXANDRIA, Virginia, July 2 (IslamOnline & News Agencies) - Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person charged in connection with the September 11 strikes, said in a handwritten document that attempts to link Osama bin Laden to the attacks were "speculation". 

"Whether or not it is an operation of my brother in Islam and my father in jihad has not been proven," Moussaoui wrote in a series of handwritten motions to Virginia court judge Leonie Brinkema unsealed Monday night. 

Declaring himself a holy warrior and a terrorist, Moussaoui added, "But it does not mean that I took part in Sept. 11," according to the Washington Post. 

"So I am a mujahid [holy warrior], if Allah accept me," he writes. "I am a terrorist in your eyes [as terrorism is like beauty, it is in the eyes of the beholder]. But it does not mean that I took part in Sept. 11. And the FBI know it as they were monitoring all my movement and communication for quite a long time in the U.S. and abroad," reported the paper. 

"There is no link between me and the presumed hijackers," Moussaoui wrote. 

He noted that "to this day the U.S. has not even indicted the Lion of Allah," as he referred to the Saudi millionaire and al-Qaeda network leader Washington believes was behind the attacks, adding: "may Allah protect him." 

"They, the government, the appointed lawyers, and Leonie Brinkema are trying to deceive me [and everybody else] by turning a speculation, an assumption, an hypothesis into a proof or theory, namely that September 11 is an Osama bin Laden operation," he wrote. 

Saying prosecutors should be required to prove that bin Laden ordered and organized the 19 hijackers, and that he participated in the conspiracy, Moussaoui contends that if such speculation is accepted as fact, the government would only have to prove he was in Afghanistan, which he already has admitted, to assure his conviction, reported news agencies. 

Moussaoui, who is acting as his own attorney, rejecting his court-appointed public defenders, has several times asked for a change of venue and accused Brinkema of bias, saying the judge "will insure my connection as it will be enough for the government to prove that I was in Afghanistan [which I stipulate by the way] to convict me." 

"The all case has been build on speculation: it is an Osama bin Laden operation," he said. 

The government’s case alleges that Moussaoui underwent weapons and explosives training in al-Qaeda camps in Afghanistan in 1998 but his document do not disclose when he was in Afghanistan or what he was doing there, CNN reported. 

The motions filed last week were an attempt by Moussaoui to elicit an admission from the United States that it had him under surveillance long before Sept. 11, believing that showing he was being monitored by the government would prove he was not connected with the 19 hijackers, reported the Post. 

U.S. prosecutors deny Moussaoui was under surveillance. "The U.S. government did not conduct electronic or physical surveillance of the defendant before his arrest on August 16, 2001," prosecutors said in documents, according to CNN. 

Moussaoui has petitioned for access to information various governments and agencies may possess concerning him, including Britain, France, the FBI and CIA, claiming they have proof that he was not involved in the attacks. 

Moussaoui’s motions contain for the first time his acknowledgment of bin Laden and the first since he was allowed to represent himself that he sympathizes with terrorists. 

He is also seeking permission from the judge to investigate his case in France, Britain, Germany and Malaysia, because of phone calls he made from various countries, the Post reported. 

Moussaoui, 34, a French national of Moroccan descent, whom officials suspect would have been the 20th hijacker in the attacks that killed some 3,000 people in a matter of hours on September 11, was arrested on August 16 in Minnesota when employees at a flight school became suspicious of him. 

He was indicted in December on six counts, four of which carry the death penalty: conspiracy to commit acts of international terrorism, conspiracy to hijack an airliner, conspiracy to destroy an aircraft, conspiracy to use arms of mass destruction.
