Shoebomber's '9/11 plan'

BRIT shoe bomber Richard Reid was due to hijack a fifth plane on 9/11 — and fly it into the White House.
Al-Qaeda disciple Zacarias Moussaoui yesterday told a court he was to be the pilot and "one definite member of my crew was Richard Reid".
But Moussaoui was arrested for immigration violations a month before the 2001 attacks on Washington and New York.
Reid, 23, later tried to detonate a shoe bomb on a flight and was jailed for life.
Moussaoui’s confession stunned the court in Alexandria, Virginia. It flew in the face of his previous statements in which he said the White House would have been attacked later.
French-born Moussaoui, who studied in Britain and attended the Finsbury Park mosque, kept silent about the 9/11 plot after his arrest.
Prosecutor Rob Spencer said: "You lied so the plan could go forward?" Moussaoui, 37, replied: "That’s correct."
The exchange was key to the American government’s case that the attacks might have been averted if Moussaoui had co-operated. Case continues.
