U.S. to Seek Death Penalty for Guantanamo Prisoners With Sept. 11 Ties
Feb. 11, 2008 - Defense Department spokesman Bryan Whitman announced that six prisoners at Guantanamo Bay will be formally charged, perhaps today, for terror attacks on the United States.
- Military prosecutors also will ask for the death penalty for the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 Americans, according to a second official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the charges had not been announced.
One of the prisoners is Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of the attack. Another is
Mohammed al-Qahtani, who was supposed to be the 20th hijacker, but missed the flight. The others are:
Ramzi bin al-Shibh, Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali, Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi; and Walid bin Attash.
