Moussaoui trial

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the brains behind the September 11 attacks, was surprised by the scale of destruction wrought by the tragedy, which scuppered his plans to unleash a second wave of strikes.

Declassified summaries of interrogations of the former top Al Qaeda planner, now incarcerated at an undisclosed location by the United States, revealed fascinating details of the 2001 attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people.

Jurors will resume deliberations on Monday over whether Moussaoui is eligible for the death penalty sought by the government which claims his "lies" while in jail in August 2001 allowed the world's worst terror attack to go ahead.
