The self-styled mastermind behind the September 11 terror attacks and his four co-defendants "do not deserve the glory of execution" and martyrdom, a victim's mother said.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the four others told a military judge at a hearing at Guantanamo Bay on Monday that they wanted to confess to their parts in the terror attacks which killed nearly 3,000 people more than seven years ago.

The five men will face possible execution if the guilty pleas are accepted at a hearing next year.
