25 Years After 9/11, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's Trial Still Faces Obstacles

Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks, the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and three co-defendants remains unresolved. A military judge at Guantánamo Bay has set jury selection for June 5, 2028, after rejecting a January 2027 start date. The delay stems from a ruling that excluded Mohammed's 2007 FBI confession as involuntary, forcing prosecutors to rely on other evidence. Critics argue the military commission system is inefficient, while some families of victims doubt the 2028 date will hold.

Judge voids 2007 confessions in 9/11 case, complicating 2028 trial timeline

A military judge has ruled that statements made by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in 2007 were involuntary, effectively removing his confession from the evidence in his upcoming trial. This decision, announced by Lt. Col. Michael Schrama, adds to the legal complexities of a case that has been stalled for over two decades. While a trial date was set for June 2028, the exclusion of key admissions may further complicate the prosecution's strategy and potentially delay proceedings, as the case remains mired in disputes over past interrogation methods and evidentiary admissibility.

Accused Bali bombing mastermind Hambali faces trial under moderate conditions at Guantanamo Bay.

Encep Nurjaman, also known as Hambali, a 17-year detainee at Guantanamo Bay, is set to face trial for masterminding a series of deadly attacks in Indonesia, including the 2002 Bali bombings that killed 200 people. Hambali and his two co-defendants will be tried before a military commission. The US government alleges that Hambali "murdered 211 persons, seriously injured at least 31 other persons, and committed multiple other offenses under the law of war". Hambali's defense team denies that he knew of the Bali bomb plot in advance. Hambali has been held in Guantanamo since 2006 and is one of only 30 detainees still there.
