Trial Set for 9/11 Mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in 2028 Amid Evidence Ruling
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, accused mastermind of the September 11, 2001 attacks, is scheduled for trial in June 2028 at Guantanamo Bay, nearly 27 years after the attacks. A U.S. military judge recently ruled that Mohammed's confessions to FBI agents are inadmissible due to coercion and psychological conditioning linked to his CIA detention and interrogation, including waterboarding. This ruling excludes key evidence, posing challenges for the prosecution as the trial approaches. Mohammed was captured in Pakistan in 2003 and has been held at Guantanamo since 2006.
