Bus/Financial - Journalism
German term or phrase: heißlaufen
Sofort liefen bei allen Prozessbeteiligten die Telefone heiß. War der Durchbruch in dem verfahrenen Prozess gegen den vermeintlichen Helfer der Hamburger Todes-Piloten geschafft? Können etwa nun endlich die Kenntnisse der Mitverschwörer der 9/11-Anschläge - vor allem von Khalid Scheich Mohammed und dem zeitweise auch in Hamburg lebenden Ramzi Binalshibh - benutzt werden? Oder können die beiden gar persönlich oder über den Weg der Rechtshilfe sagen, was sie über die Beteiligung des Angeklagten wissen?

TIA!!!
