WASHINGTON — A newly declassified CIA report said interrogators threatened to kill the children of a Sept. 11 suspect.

The document, released Monday by the Justice Department, said 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 Sept. 11, 2001. It has been declassified as part of a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union.

Earlier Monday, President Barack Obama approved creation of a new, special terrorism-era interrogation unit to be supervised by the White House, a top aide said Monday, further distancing his administration from President George W. Bush’s detainee policies.
