Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, mastermind of the September 11, 2001 drama in New York told US officials it took five years to arrange the attacks and that a wave of suicide attacks was supposed to follow, reports said. Mohammed also claimed that the hijacking teams were originally made up of members from different countries where terrorist group al-Qaida had recruited, but that in the final stages bin Laden chose instead to use a large group of young Saudi men. The plot, Mohammed said, eventually evolved into hijacking a small number of planes in the United States and East Asia and either having them explode or crash into targets simultaneously, the reports stated.
