Trial for 9/11 suspects including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed scheduled for June 2028

A US military judge has scheduled the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the September 11 attacks, and three co-defendants for June 5, 2028, after more than two decades since their arrest. The decision follows a blocked plea deal that would have spared some defendants from the death penalty. The case has faced delays due to disputes over evidence obtained during their time in CIA custody. A jury of military service members will be selected before opening statements are made.
