US judge schedules 9/11 plot trial
A U.S. military judge has scheduled the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the accused mastermind of the September 11 attacks, along with four other detainees held at Guantanamo Bay, for June 5, 2028. Prosecutors had requested that the trial commence in January 2027, but the judge rejected the motion, citing complex legal issues that require time for deliberation—especially concerning confessions allegedly obtained through torture. This trial is considered one of the most high-profile legal and security cases, and it has been a long-standing demand by the victims' families for years, particularly following repeated delays and ongoing legal obstacles. There have been previous attempts to reach a plea deal with the defendants in exchange for avoiding the death penalty; however, the U.S. administration withdrew from those negotiations. The court continues to consider the case amid ongoing legal developments.
