9/11 suspects asked to make 'confessions' at Gitmo

Guantanamo Bay Naval Base: Five men charged with plotting the Sept 11 attacks say they are ready to make confessions.

The military judge assigned to their war-crimes trial at Guantanamo Bay read aloud a letter in which the five co-defendants said they "request an immediate hearing session to announce our confessions."

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed has already told interrogators he was the mastermind of the Sept 11 attacks. Now he's telling the judge that he and the others want to make confessions at their trial.

The judge, Army Col Stephen Henley, is asking each defendant if they are prepared to enter a plea. So far three of them said on Monday they agree with the letter. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for all five.
