The six named in the indictment are Khalid Sheikh Mohammed - reputed to the 911 mastermind who was broken by water boarding, Walid Muhammad Salih, Mubarak Bin 'Attash, Ramzi Binalshibh, Ali Abdul Aziz Ali, Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi and Mohamed al Kahtani. Government prosecutors are seeking the death penalty in all six cases. Detailed in a presentation listing169 specific acts, the indictment alleges that those charged met with Usama bin-Laden in the period of time after al-Qaeda declared war on the United States in 1996 to devise the plan that eventually resulted in the September 11 attacks and the death of 2,973 civilians. The indictment charges the named six along with others, "known and unknown," in having willfully joined in: "...an enterprise of persons with the intent to further the unlawful purpose of the enterprise; said agreement and enterprise sharing a common criminal purpose known to the six accused to commit the following offenses triable by military commission: attacking civilians, attacking civilian objects, intentionally causing serious bodily injury, murder in violation of the law of war, destruction of property in violation of the law of war, and terrorism." As tribunal advisor Brigadier General Thomas W. Hartmann stated at a press briefing, "These charges allege a long term, highly sophisticated, organized plan by al-Qaida to attack the United States of America."
