Self-proclaimed 9/11 mastermind uses cumin, turmeric to dye beard

GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA — Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the U.S., is using a bizarre concoction of spices and juice to dye his beard a bright color.

Mohammed, who faces a military tribunal on war crime charges, has started using “common kitchen items” like cumin, turmeric and other spices to change the color of his long beard, Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Todd Breasseale told the Washington Examiner. It was previously reported that Mohammed used breakfast items such as fruit juices and berries to dye his facial hair.
