Death penalty debate flares in Europe -- International Herald Tribune
With the indictment of French citizen Zacarias Moussaoui as a terrorist suspect, the long-standing split between Europe and the US over capital punishment has surfaced again. US officials have pointedly not ruled out seeking execution if he is found guilty. But France opposes the death penalty even for convicted terrorists. Spain has also been hesitant to extradite a group of suspected al Qaeda members to the US amid questions about what sort of trial they will get. The US has, however, decided not to try Moussaoui in a secret military tribunal, perhaps in deference to European sentiment against it.
