German authorities have closed down a mosque used by the 9/11 attackers, the Christian Broadcast Network website reports today (August 10, 2010).
Authorities said the Taiba mosque in Hamburg was a "recruiting and meeting point for Islamic radicals who wanted to participate in so-called jihad or holy war."
The mosque was used by several 9/11 hijackers before coming to the U.S., and has been under close watch since the attack.
The Hamburg interior minister said about 45 supporters of jihad live in the Hamburg area, and about 200 people regularly attended Friday prayers at the Taiba mosque.
