The Pakistani national, Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, a prime suspect in the 9/11 terror attacks in the US, has allegedly confessed to his role in the plot along with a slew of other strikes over the last several years.
"I was responsible for the 9/11 operation from A to Z," Mohammed was quoted as saying in transcripts put out by the US Department of Defence yesterday. "I was the operational director for Sheikh Usama (Osama) Bin Laden for the organizing, planning, follow-up, and execution of the 9/11 operation," he said in a statement read during a closed door military proceedings at the Guantanamo Bay Naval station.
Mohammad and a few of his cohorts are under closed door military proceedings at the Guantanamo Bay Naval station in which no access to the media has been permitted.
The Pakistani national, known as KSM, has not only accepted involvement in the attacks of 9/11 but is also said to have confessed to the murder of The Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearle, and planning assassination attempts against Pope John Paul II, Presidents Bill Clinton and Pervez Musharraf.
Mohammad has said that he was also involved in planning the 2002 bombing of a Kenya beach resort frequented by Israelis and the failed missile attack on an Israeli passenger jet after it took off from Mombasa, Kenya and for the 2002 bombing of a nightclub in Bali, Indonesia, that killed 202 persons.
He also acknowledged his role in planned attacks that never took place like against the Sears Tower in Chicago, the Empire State Building and New York Stock Exchange, the Panama Canal and Big Ben and Heathrow Airport in London.
