Charges Against Mohammed al-Qahtani "20th hijacker" Dropped

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - People who lost relatives in the Sept. 11 attacks fear alleged mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will use his upcoming war-crimes trial to boast about his role and rally support for al-Qaida.

Unlike some war-crimes defendants who are boycotting the process at Guantanamo Bay, Mohammed's lawyer told The Associated Press on Tuesday that his client has given no indication he will do so.

Mohammed, who was al-Qaida's No. 3 when he was captured in Pakistan in March 2003, tried to glorify his role in the Sept. 11 attacks and dozens of other terrorist acts during an appearance before a military panel last year.
