This thread is from May 2003. Note my #4. I doubted that M would attack overseas, his statement to conveniently would get him out of a US court. Why would he be here - well, maybe for flight training to use overseas is a possibility.

Moussaoui says he was planning for post-Sept. 11 operation

A Second Attack Planned - French Authorities: Moussaoui Plotted Another Series of Attacks

French intelligence said this...

"Moussaoui was going to be a foot soldier in a second wave of attacks that was supposed to culminate in early 2002 with simultaneous bombings against U.S. embassies in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, as well as several hijackings in the United States," said Alexis Debat, a former French Defense Ministry official and ABCNEWS consultant.
The assessment is based on the recent interrogations of Moussaoui's al Qaeda associates, including his alleged handler, now in custody in Europe.
"The people were trained, the cash was there. This was going to happen," said Debat. "He was not part of the 9/11 plan."

So my point is, Moussaoui may say his operation was overseas not because it's true, but maybe to get out of the U.S. court system.
