US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to expand the Guantanamo Bay naval base in Cuba to house "highly significant foreign criminals" who are in the country illegally. He said the facility could hold up to 30,000 immigrants.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, accused of being the main organizer of the September 11 terrorist attacks, has agreed to plead guilty. Mohammed and his two accomplices, Waleed bin Attash and Mustafa Al-Hawsawi, are expected to present their charges to a military commission at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba early next week.
