'9/11 planners' to face US trials

The US has formally sent to trial five suspected al-Qaeda militants believed to have planned the 9/11 terror attacks.

They will face charges including terrorism, hijacking, conspiracy, murder and destruction of property.

They could face the death penalty if found guilty, the Pentagon confirmed.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the four others - Waleed bin Attash, Ramzi Binalshibh, Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali and Mustafa Ahmad al-Hawsawi - are expected to be tried together, the Pentagon added.

Please note: they are being tried in an election year. Obama wants the street cred.
