US military judge rejects 911 mastermind confessions
A U.S. military court has ruled to exclude the confessions made by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the main accused in the September 11 attacks, to the FBI, citing that he was subjected to coercive interrogation techniques and confessions obtained under duress, thus preventing their use as evidence against him. The judge confirmed that the interrogation method was forced and that the confessions were not made voluntarily, complicating his trial, which is scheduled to begin in June 2028 at Guantanamo. It is worth noting that the court based its decision on evidence indicating that Mohammed was tortured, including being subjected to simulated drowning, before his transfer to military custody in 2006. The court's ruling remains open to appeal.
