| The five detainees at Guantanamo Bay charged with planning the 9/11 attacks have filed a document accepting full responsibility for the killing of nearly 3,000 people, a media report said on Tuesday.
The document, filed with the military commission at the US naval base, uses the Arabic term for a consultative assembly in describing the five men as the "9/11 Shura Council," and says their actions were an offering to God, the 'New York Times' reported today. The detainees also expressed pride for their action.
The document is titled "The Islamic Response to the Government's Nine Accusations," the military judge at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp said in a separate filing, obtained by the 'Times'.
The document was filed on behalf of the five men, including Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, who has described himself as the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, the paper said.
President Obama halted the military proceedings at Guantanamo in the first days after his inauguration, and the five men's case is on hiatus until the Government decides how it will proceed, the 'Times' added
