Khalid Sheikh Mohammed claims...

On Friday night whilst watching BBC3 I saw a small news item about Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, in which the news presenter stated that KSM claimed to have been the mastermind behind 9/11.

Now I understand that KSM has admitted to plotting the attack, but only after being waterboarded 183 times.

My dictionary defines claim (verb) as "to state to be true, especially when open to question".  So did KSM really claim responsibility for 9/11 or did he have it thrust upon him by his interrogators?

What does the forum think?

Re: Khalid Sheikh Mohammed claims...

It's interesting, this use of "claim"; compare how in the early hours following some bombing, you often see various groups "claiming responsibility", ie jockeying for the kudos.
