ALEXANDRIA, Virginia (CNN) -- Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person charged in the United States in the terrorism conspiracy behind the 9/11 attacks, pleaded guilty Friday to all six counts against him.
Moussaoui, 36, could get the death penalty for his crimes -- a penalty he said he would resist.
"I will fight every inch of the death penalty," he said in court Friday.
Moussaoui denied direct involvement in the attacks of September 11, 2001, but said he was part of a broader al Qaeda conspiracy to "use planes as weapons."
Moussaoui said he was to be trained to strike the White House with a 747.
When U.S. District Judge Leonie M. Brinkema asked how he was going to plead, Moussaoui said, "Guilty." In making the plea, Moussaoui gave up all rights of appeal and said he understood he could receive the death penalty.
