A man with joint German-Syrian citizenship wanted in connection with the Sept. 11 attacks is being held in a Syrian jail, according to German security sources quoted on ZDF television.
Mohammed Zammar, 41, has been detained for several months, but German officials were informed only a week ago, the report said.
