Where does the case against the alleged 9/11 plotters stand?
The trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and three other alleged 9/11 plotters is scheduled to begin in June 2028.
The case against the alleged 9/11 plotters remains unresolved, having been postponed from 2027 to June 5, 2028, for jury selection at Guantánamo Bay. The four defendants—Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid bin Attash, Ammar al-Baluchi, and Mustafa al-Hawsawi—are accused of conspiring, murdering, carrying out terrorism, and hijacking aircraft on September 11, 2001.
Their trial is expected to be held in a military-commission system at Guantánamo, with prosecutors seeking the death penalty. The lengthy legal proceedings, plagued by logistical issues and personnel changes, have raised concerns among victim families about the case's progress.
