    Accused al Qaeda mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed complained that interrogators tortured lies out of him, though he proudly took credit for more than two dozen other terror plots, according to sections of government transcripts released Monday.

    "I make up stories," Mohammed said at one point in his 2007 hearing at Guantanamo Bay.

    In broken English, he described an interrogation in which he was asked the location of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

    "Where is he? I don't know," Mohammed said. "Then he torture me. Then I said, `Yes, he is in this area or this is al Qaeda which I don't know him.' I said no, they torture me."

    Yet at the same military tribunal hearing, Mohammed ticked off a list of 29 terror plots in which he said he participated.

    The transcripts were released as part of a lawsuit in which the American Civil Liberties Union is seeking documents and details of the government's terror detainee programs.
