A newly declassified CIA report says interrogators threatened to kill the children of a September 11 suspect.

The document, released Monday by the US Justice Department, says one interrogator said a colleague had told Khalid Sheikh Mohammed that if any other attacks happened in the United States, "We're going to kill your children."

Another interrogator allegedly tried to convince a different terror suspect detainee that his mother would be sexually assaulted in front of him - though the interrogator in question denied making such a threat.

The report, written in 2004, examined CIA treatment of terror detainees following the terror attacks of September 11, 2001. It has been declassified as part of a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union.
