Alleged 9/11 Mastermind Set for June 2028 Trial at Guantanamo
- On Wednesday, a U.S. Air Force judge scheduled trial for Khalid Shaikh Mohammad, the self-proclaimed "mastermind" of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, to begin on June 5, 2028.
- Mohammad, a former Al-Qaeda official, was captured in 2003 after an 18-month search in Pakistan and has been detained at Guantanamo Bay since, marking decades of pre-trial delays.
- Military court documents show the judge rejected a proposed January 11, 2027 trial date, citing the complexity of proceedings after decades of delays in the high-stakes case.
- The Pentagon and FBI advised families of victims that plea agreement negotiations are under consideration, which could potentially remove death-penalty exposure for the accused.
- This trial scheduling arrives on the eve of the 25th anniversary of the attacks, nearly 25 years after Sept. 11, 2001, marking a potential resolution to the protracted case.
