9/11 accused Moussaoui 'plans to plead guilty'

Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person in the US charged over the September 11 terrorist attacks, has told the US government he plans to plead guilty, it is reported today.

The Washington Post quoted sources familiar with the case as saying that if a judge found Moussaoui mentally competent, he could enter the plea as early as this week.
