On Wednesday, Moussa arrived at work in combat fatigues. On Thursday, he was fired, arrested and told he would be deported.
Moussa, 28, was charged with trespassing after refusing to leave Kay Chemical Co. on Capital Drive, Greensboro police said Friday. Company officials say Moussa loudly celebrated Tuesday's attacks and later distracted workers by dressing in combat fatigues.
After his arrest, Moussa admitted he is in the country illegally, according to Detective S.E. Sanders. Immigration and Naturalization Services will soon deport him to his home country of Niger, Sanders said.
Moussa was an employee of Key Resources, a local temp agency, and had been working in a Kay Chemical warehouse for about two weeks. He began taunting employees when he showed up for work Tuesday, Kay Chemical Vice President Steve Mosh said.
"It was incredibly inappropriate," Mosh said. "He said he was glad (the attacks) happened. He was gloating."
The next day, Moussa came to work dressed in combat fatigues. He was quickly told to go home. On Thursday, Key Resources fired him.
Moussa then told his employers that he wanted to come back to Kay Chemical to get his final paycheck. At the request of officials at Kay Chemical and Key Resources, police escorted Moussa back into the Kay Chemical. When he refused to leave, he was arrested, Sanders said.
Moussa never threatened Kay Chemical employees. Pam Medlin, owner of Key Resources, said Moussa's actions and clothing, however, made his co-workers feel threatened.
"I wanted him to know this is not tolerated in this country," she said. "You cannot say this. It is viewed as a threat."
Company officials were in compliance with the law when they fired Moussa, according to Deborah Ross, director of the ACLU of North Carolina.
"North Carolina is an employment-at-will state," she said. "You can be fired for your political beliefs by a private employer here."
Key Resources conducted a thorough background check on Moussa, but found nothing to indicate that he was in the country illegally, Medlin said.

Oh.
It did not fail.
It has been -- and continues to be -- successful beyond the wildest and most abjectly-Evil dreams, hopes, aspirations and imaginings of its architects.
It has been -- and is -- the Trojan Horse by way of which they have sought and continue to seek to detroy Our Fraternal Republic's very Foundations -- and take Absolute Power over every detail of our lives!
And I'd say that by any measure they are doin' great.
From the vantage point of some, I would have to concur.
Bears repeating...
I'd say they need to review their background check policy.
Later, when Haile Selassie's regime fell, I wondered if that little scumbag had been a part of it all.
We, as a nation and a people, have been too naive, too trusting - our borders too open...
On Thursday, he was fired, arrested and told he would be deported.Gotta love that prompt action. I hope he is out of the country by Monday. If the US is so bad, let's see how he likes returning to his native land.
I pay taxes to support the College District here and I'll be damned if I'm going to pay them another dime if they don't expel the students who showed a blatant disrespect for the country that is helping them to achieve their goals in life. Ungrateful bastards.
I prefer strip & full body cavity search, myself.
On a completely unrelated topic, I understand chemical plants are one of the more dangerous workplace environments.
Yes, but do we really want to turn him into the Joker?
Ain't that the truth. He's lucky he wasn't in the middle of a nasty acid "accident" while working at that chemical supply warehouse.

Buh-bye.
