President Obama's advisers are poised to announce a recommendation to reverse course on Attorney General Eric Holder's plan to try the admitted architect of the 9/11 attacks in federal court and instead prosecute Khalid Sheik Mohammed in a military commission, The Washington Post reported on Friday.

According to high-level sources in the story that spoke on the condition of anonymity, the deliberation over where to try Mohammed and his co-conspirators is in its final stages and the administration could announce its plan before Obama leaves on an upcoming trip to Indonesia on March 18.

Moving Mohammed's trial from a civilian court to a military proceeding would be a setback for the Justice Department, which has openly pledged to try terrorism suspects in federal courtrooms.
