September 11 mastermind faces trial date
The U.S. judiciary has scheduled the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, accused of being the mastermind behind the September 11, 2001 attacks, for June 2028. This comes more than 27 years after the attacks and 25 years after his arrest in Pakistan. Mohammed, one of Osama bin Laden’s closest aides, planned the attacks from start to finish, making the case a lengthy legal matter since his detention in 2003, during which he was held at Guantanamo Bay for over twenty years. Despite efforts to reach an agreement to admit guilt and avoid the death penalty, the deal was canceled in 2025, and the case has now reverted to the formal trial process.
