Profiles: The 10 Gitmo detainees heading for trial

Washington: Ten high-profile Guantanamo Bay detainees are being transferred to face trial in the United States.

Five are heading to civilian courts to face charges in relation to the September 11 attacks, while a further five will face military commissions in the United States on a variety of terrorism charges.

The five who will face September 11 charges are:

Khalid Shaikh Mohammad:
Has admitted to interrogators that he was the mastermind of the attacks. He allegedly proposed the concept to Osama bin Laden as early as 1996, obtained funding for the attacks from bin Laden, oversaw the operation and trained the hijackers in Afghanistan and Pakistan. He was born in Pakistan's Baluchistan province and raised in Kuwait.

 Waleed bin Attash:
a Yemeni better known as Khallad, allegedly ran an Al Qaida training camp in Logar, Afghanistan, where two of the 19 hijackers were trained. Bin Attash is believed to have been bin Laden's bodyguard. Authorities say bin Laden selected him as a hijacker, but he was prevented from participating when he was briefly detained in Yemen in early 2001.

Ramzi Binalshibh:
a Yemeni, allegedly helped find flight schools for the hijackers, helped them enter the United States and assisted with financing the operation. He allegedly was selected to be a hijacker and made a "martyr video" in preparation for the operation, but he was unable to get a U.S. visa. He also is believed to be a lead operative for a foiled plot to crash aircraft into London's Heathrow Airport.

Ali Abd Al Aziz Ali:
