U.S. prosecutors to turn over records on 9/11 conspiracy suspects
FORT MEADE, MD. | BY LACEY JOHNSON
U.S. prosecutors said on Thursday they would turn over more than 1,000 pages of CIA documents to attorneys for five men charged with plotting the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington.
Defense lawyers for the men, held at a U.S. military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, have fought for years to gain access to records about how their clients were treated by the Central Intelligence Agency.
All five contend they were tortured in secret CIA prisons before arriving at Guantanamo in 2006. A U.S. Senate report in 2014 harshly criticized the CIA's interrogation program and said suspects had been tortured in secret facilities worldwide.
Chief Prosecutor Brigadier General Mark Martins promised to deliver more than 1,000 pages of documents for judicial review by March 22, followed by hundreds of additional pages by the end of the summer.
