Zammar was arrested in Morocco in a CIA operation a few months after the terrorist attack that destroyed the world trade center in new York and damaged the Pentagon. He was transferred to the Syrian government within two weeks. In 2007, Zammar was sentenced to prison by the Syrian government for 12 years as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.
