Pentagon: Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Confesses to 9/11

HeadlineMar 15, 2007

Alleged al-Qaeda mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed has apparently confessed to plotting the 9/11 attacks and a series of other crimes. In a transcript released by the Pentagon, Mohammed says: “I was responsible for the 9/11 operation, from A to Z.” He also laid claim to attacks including the 2002 bombings of a Kenyan beach resort and a Bali nightclub that killed hundreds of people. Mohammed also claimed involvement in planning several attacks that never occurred, including assassination attempts on former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, and bombings of several landmarks in the U.S. and around the world. The Pentagon blacked out some of Mohammed’s remarks, including his response to a question on whether he was tortured in U.S. custody. The Associated Press is reporting the Pentagon also redacted a section in which Mohammed confesses to the beheading of the Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl.
