Defense Department spokesman Bryan Whitman says an announcement of the charges could come as early as Monday.
A second official said that military figures also want to seek the death penalty for the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 Americans.
Among those held at Guantanamo is Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of the attack six years ago in which hijacked planes were flown into buildings in New York and Washington. Five others are expected to be named in sworn charges.
