Khalid Shaikh Mohammed is Singing on 9/11
The Associated Press reports that alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed has been spilling his guts to U.S. interrogators from his overseas place of detention.
According to the article,
Khalid Shaikh Mohammed has told U.S. investigators that he first began plotting the 2001 attacks with terrorist leader Usama bin Laden back in 1996. After examining interregation reports, The Associated Press learned that Mohammed said the original scheme involved the hijacking of five commercial airliners on both U.S. coasts. He said the plan was changed several times in the five years between its conception and execution. Mohammed also divulged that, in its final stages, the hijacking plot called for as many as 22 terrorists and four planes in a first wave, followed by a second wave of suicide hijackings that were to be aided possibly by Al Qaeda (search) allies in southeast Asia, according to the reports.
....Mohammed said al-Hazmi and al-Mihdhar were among the four original operatives bin Laden assigned to him for the plot, a significant revelation because those were the only two hijackers whom U.S. authorities were frantically seeking for terrorist ties in the final days before Sept. 11.
What we want to know is if Mohammed supports Moussaoui's claim that Moussaoui was not involved in 9/11. While the article gives the details of Mohammed's statements of everyone else's involvement, as to Moussoui, it only reports:
