US military prosecutors have filed new charges against self-described 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four alleged co-conspirators held at Guantanamo Bay, reports say.

The charges are expected to be formally unveiled later on Tuesday.

All five defendants had previously been charged at Guantanamo over the attacks.

But the charges were set aside as the Obama administration tried to move the trial into US civilian courts, a move which was reversed in April.

Mohammed previously admitted to being responsible “from A to Z” for the attacks in New York and Washington.

Mohammed was captured in Pakistan in March 2003 and sent to the US detention centre in Cuba in 2006.
