9/11 mastermind KSM finally gets a trial date in 2028 — 27 years after the attacks: US media
9/11 attack mastermind to face trial in 2028: US media
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, widely known as KSM, stands accused of masterminding the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that claimed nearly 3,000 lives. The US military court announced that KSM will face trial at Guantanamo Bay in June 2028, a date 27 years after the attacks. Military Judge Lieutenant Colonel Michael Schrama made the decision on August 26, 2026, rejecting the prosecution's bid to begin the trial in January 2027.
The lengthy delay in KSM's trial is primarily due to disputes over evidence, classified information, and statements obtained during harsh CIA interrogations.
