Federal Indictment: Conspiracy to Commit Acts of Terrorism


A federal indictment filed on December 14, 2009, unsealed on April 4, 2011, charges five men with ten counts relating to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. The indictment ends with Count Ten: Conspiracy to Kill Americans, and lists the names of 2,976 "Murder Victims of September 11, 2001 Attacks."

The language used in this indictment regarding the background of the al Qaeda organization, its leadership, and motives, was the main reference in developing the portions of the exhibit at Flight 93 National Memorial relating to the terrorist plot and its origins.
