Transcript of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Confession (pdf file)
The alleged mastermind of the 9/11 attacks has admitted his role in them, and 30 other plots in a hearing at Guantanamo Bay, the Pentagon says. "I was responsible for the 9/11 operation, from A to Z," said Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in a partial transcript from a closed-door hearing.
"I was the operational director for Sheikh Osama Bin Laden for the organising, planning, follow-up and execution of the 9/11 operation," Mr Mohammed told the hearing, in a statement read by a representative.
Mohammed also said he beheaded U.S. journalist Daniel Pearl, according to the transcript. ERRI counter-terrorism analysts said that is not presently clear how much of Mr. Mohammed's statement is "jihadist bluster and misdirection," and how much is fact.
