Military Judge Sets June 2028 Trial Date for 9/11 Alleged Mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed
A U.S. military judge has set June 5, 2028, as the trial date for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and three others accused of planning the September 11, 2001 attacks. The trial was delayed from an earlier January 2027 date to allow resolution of pretrial disputes, including evidence disagreements. Mohammed, captured in 2003 and held at Guantanamo Bay, faces charges alongside alleged accomplices. Previous trial dates were postponed, and a plea deal was rejected by the Biden administration.
