The Al-Quds Mosque (Arabic: مسجد القدس, romanizedMasjid al-Quds; German: al-Quds-Moschee) was a Sunni Islam mosque, located in Hamburg, Germany. The mosque was opened in 1993 and operated until 2010 when it was shut down by German security officials. The mosque was known for preaching a radical form of Sunni Islam. The al-Quds Mosque was attended by some of the September 11 attackers including Mohamed Atta, Marwan al-Shehhi, Ramzi bin al-Shibh, and Ziad Jarrah who formed the Hamburg cell.[1]
