9.11테러 주모자 사진과 자료

 

                         The photos of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed were taken six years apart (알카에다 미국지역 칼리드 셰이크 모하메드는 6년간 계획)

관타나모 군사법정 자문역을 맡고 있는 토마스 하크만 미 공군 준장은 12일 미국 국방부에서 열린 기자회견에서, 지난 2001년 뉴욕과 워싱턴, 그리고 펜실베이니아 주에서 거의 3천여 명의 목숨을 앗아간 9.11 테러공격의 용의자들을 기소한다고 발표했습니다.  

하트만 준장은 이들 기소된 6명의 이름을 밝혔습니다. 이들은 칼리드 셰이크 모하메드, 왈리드 빈 아타시, 알리 압둘 아지즈, 무스타파 아흐메드, 아담 알 하사위와 모하메드 알 카흐타니라고 하트만 준장은 밝혔습니다.  

이들은 각각 음모와 살인 등 전쟁법 위반과 민간인과 민간 시설에 대한 공격과 테러 등의 혐의로 기소됐습니다. 

미군은 쿠바 관타나모 수용소에서 이들에 대한 합동 군사재판을 실시해 사형을 선고하도록 할 것이라고 밝혔습니다. 하트만 준장은 이들은 칼리드 셰이크 모하메드의 주도로 장기간 테러조직 알카에다의 미국에 대한 고도의 공격 계획을 수립했다고 밝혔습니다.

하트만 준장은 기소문을 통해 칼리드 셰이크 모하메드는 9.11 테러공격의 주모자로 지난 1996년께 오사마 빈 라덴에게 공격개념을 제안했었다고 밝혔습니다. 그는 이어 오사마 빈 라덴으로부터 공격 승인과 자금 지원을 받았고, 아프가니스탄과 파키스탄에서 비행기 납치범들을 훈련하는 등 공격 작전의 전면을 지휘했다고 하트만 준장은 말했습니다.

이들이 군사재판에 회부되면 관타나모의 군사법정 체제에 더 큰 의문이 제기될 것으로 예상됩니다. 이미 많은 민권 단체들은 관타나모 특별 군사법원이 미국의 다른 민사법원과 같이 기소자들에게 동등한 법적 보호를 제공하지 않는다고 비판해왔습니다. 또한 현재 논란이 되고 있는 조사방법을 통해 입수한 자백이나 다른 정보들을 이들에 대한 유죄의 증거로 사용될 수 있을지도 의문입니다. 

마이클 헤이든 미국 중앙정보국, CIA국장은 지난 주 처음으로 칼리드 셰이크 모하메드 외 다른 2명의  테러 용의자들에게 익사를 가장한 취조방법인 이른바 ‘물고문’을 실시했다고 공식 인정한 바 있습니다.    

하트만 준장은 12일 어떤 증거가 제시될 수 있을지는 법원이 결정할 것이라고 말했습니다.

하트만 준장는 미국은 법치국가라며, 물고문을 통한 증언과 그밖의 다른 어떤 증거들이 제시될 수 있을지는 피고 측과 원고 측의 공방이 있은 후 법정에서 결정될 것이라고 말했습니다.

하트만 준장은 피고인들은 공정한 재판을 받게 될 것이며, 변호인을 둘 권리와, 자신들에 대한 유죄를 입증하는 데 사용된 증거들을 검토할 권리, 그리고 증인을 요청할 권리 등

실제로 미군들이 법정에서 갖는 권리와 동등한 권리를 갖게 될 것이라고 밝혔습니다.

쿠바 관타나모의 미군 포로수용소에는 현재 약 2백75명이 수감돼 있습니다. (끝)

Photos of '9/11 plotter' hit web

The photos of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed were taken six years apart The first images of alleged al-Qaeda mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed at Guantanamo Bay have appeared on the internet. Mr Mohammed appears with a long beard and wearing a white robe in the photos, taken in July by the Red Cross at the US detention centre in Cuba. In February the US military began to allow the Red Cross to take pictures of inmates to send to their families. Mr Mohammed had admitted planning the 9/11 attacks, the US military says. What's problematic for me is it really humanises the guy Jarret Brachman Terrorism researcher   Apart from courtroom sketches made during Mr Mohammed's hearings, these are the first images of him to emerge since a widely distributed picture taken upon his capture in Pakistan in March 2003. The International Committee of the Red Cross said it took the most recent photos in July. It said the pictures were sent to Mr Mohammed's family and were not intended for public release. But the images have appeared in recent days on extremist websites, according to Jarret Brachman, former research director at the Combating Terrorism Center of the West Point US Military Academy. He said the images - which emerge on the eve of the eighth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks - could inspire extremists. "What's problematic for me is it really humanises the guy," Mr Brachman told AP news agency. Mr Mohammed's trial is currently on hold while President Barack Obama, who has said he wants to close the Guantanamo detention centre by January, decides how to continue military prosecutions for some detainees.

Profile: Al-Qaeda 'kingpin'

Mohammed reportedly admitted to a long list of attacks or plots Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who faces charges in connection with the 11 September 2001 attacks in the US, is regarded as one of the most senior operatives in Osama Bin Laden's al-Qaeda network. The Pentagon says he has admitted to being responsible "from A to Z" for the attacks in New York and Washington. At a hearing to determine whether he was an "enemy combatant" who should remain in detention at Guantanamo Bay, he also reportedly said he had personally decapitated kidnapped US journalist Daniel Pearl in 2002 and admitted to a role in 30 plots. He was captured in Pakistan in March 2003 and sent to the US detention centre in Cuba in 2006. He was indicted in 1996 with plotting to blow up 11 or 12 American airliners flying from south-east Asia to the United States in January, 1995. According to the transcripts released, the self-proclaimed head of al-Qaeda's military committee admitted to: The organisation, planning, follow-up and execution of the 9/11 operation Responsibility for the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center in New York, the bombing of nightclubs in Bali in 2002 and a Kenyan hotel in the same year Responsibility for the failed attempt by the so-called shoe bomber, Richard Reid, to bring down an American plane Plots to attack Heathrow Airport, Canary Wharf and Big Ben in London, to hit targets in Israel, and to blow up the Panama Canal A plot to hit towers in the US cities of Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago and the Empire State Building in New York, and to attack US nuclear power stations Plots to assassinate the late Pope John Paul II and former US President Bill Clinton He said he had used his own "blessed right hand" to behead Daniel Pearl, according to Pentagon papers. Reward Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is believed to have been born in either 1964 or 1965 in Kuwait into a family originally from the Pakistani province of Baluchistan, which borders Afghanistan. He is said to be fluent in Arabic, English, Urdu and Baluchi. He graduated in 1986 from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in the US. In the late 1980s he moved to Pakistan's north-western city of Peshawar, where he became acquainted with Bin Laden. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed first achieved notoriety with the discovery of the plot to blow up US airliners over the Pacific in 1995 - known as Operation Bojinka. The plan was reportedly foiled when police found incriminating computer files during their investigation into a separate plot to assassinate the Pope. 11 September After the 2001 attacks on Washington and New York which killed more than 3,000 people, US officials raised the reward on his head. They believe the Kuwaiti co-ordinated the attacks and transferred money that was used to pay for the hijackings. Mr Mohammed is the uncle of Ramzi Yousef, who was convicted in 1997 of bombing the World Trade Center four years earlier. Military planner The Kuwaiti militant's arrest marked one of the most important breakthroughs in the fight against al-Qaeda. Terrorism and al-Qaeda expert Rohan Gunaratna described him as a "highly experienced organiser of terrorist attacks across international borders, one of an elite group capable of such events". It is not just the Americans and the Pakistanis who wanted information from him. The French magistrate Judge Jean-Louis Bruguiere issued an arrest warrant for him in connection with a suicide bomb attack on a synagogue in the Tunisian resort island of Djerba in 2002. And the Australians have been interested, because of their investigation into the Bali bombing in 2002 in which 202 people died. In February 2008, the US admitted that it had interrogated Mr Mohammed using the controversial method of waterboarding, which simulates drowning. At a pre-trial hearing at Guantanamo Bay in December 2008, Mr Mohammed said he wanted to plead guilty to all charges against him. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/2811855.stm 2001년 9월 11일 오늘  미국의 심장부인 워싱턴과 뉴욕을 송두리째 뒤흔든 사상 최악의 테러가 발생했습니다.  이날 오전, 납치된 여객기 한대가 세계 무역 센터 쌍둥이 빌딩 북쪽 건물을 들이 받았고, 곧이어 유에스 에어라인 175편이 남쪽 건물을 들이 받았습니다. 오전 9시 40분, 아메리카 에어라인 77편이 워싱턴의 국방부 건물에 충돌했습니다. 이어 세계 무역센터 남쪽 건물이 붕괴됐고, 10시에는 유에스 에어라인 93편이 피츠버그 동남쪽에 추락했습니다. 이날 테러로 수천 명의 무고한 생명이 목숨을 잃었고, 전 세계는 엄청난 충격과 공포에 휩싸이게 됩니다. 미국은 테러 용의자로 국제 테러리스트인 오사마 빈 라덴과 그의 조직인 알 카에다를 지목했습니다. 그리고 같은 해 10월 7일 미국은 아프가니스탄에 있는 알 카에다와 탈레반의 기지에 미사일 공격을 감행하며 이른바 테러와의 전쟁을 시작합니다.  좌측의 남쪽 타워에 유나이티드 항공 175편이 충돌해 불타고 있다. 그에 앞서 우측의 북쪽 타워에는 아메리칸 항공 11편이 충돌했다
