9/11 court will hear Camp Delta secrets

America is to publish evidence extracted from two key al Qaeda suspects at Guantanamo Bay in a break with the secrecy surrounding the base.

Accounts of interrogations will be provided to a German court to help the prosecution in the retrial of Moroccan Mounir el Motassadeq, 30, accused of aiding three September 11 hijackers who were based in Hamburg.

The court had asked to question the two suspectsat Camp Delta in person but Washington refused, saying that could lead to secret information about terrorist threats being divulged.

El Motassadeq's earlier conviction was overturned on appeal due to lack of evidence from the two suspects, Ramzi Binalshibh and Khalid Shaikh Mohammed.
