    WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Pentagon has charged six detainees at Guantanamo Bay with murder and war crimes in connection with the Sept. 11 terror attacks, and officials said Monday the United States will seek the death penalty.

    Brig. Gen. Thomas W. Hartmann said the charges lay out a long-term sophisticated plan by the al-Qaida terrorist network to attack the United States of America. The attack over six years ago killed nearly 3,000 people.

    Hartmann, the legal adviser to the U.S. military tribunal system, said the six include Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of the attacks, in which hijacked planes were flown into buildings in New York and Washington. Another hijacked plane crashed in the fields of western Pennsylvania.

    I read this article today. Personally I am very glad that they are going to charge all the individuals and hope they all recieve the death penalty for what they did.

    It was interesting to know that for capital offenses in this military tribunal it has to be a unanimous agreement from all 12 members of the panel.
