Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Trial Set for 2028 | Toronto News
Description
After nearly two decades behind bars at Guantanamo Bay, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed—the alleged mastermind of 9/11—is finally set to face a military trial in June 2028. Once scheduled for January 2027, the date was pushed back after a judge rejected the prosecution’s timeline, citing concerns over government delays tied to his alleged torture—including repeated waterboarding. His lawyers argue the stalling is intentional, while a previous plea deal that would’ve spared him the death penalty was tossed out by an appeals court last summer. He’ll stand trial alongside three other co-defendants: Walid bin Attash, Ali Abdul Aziz Ali, and Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi. This long-awaited courtroom showdown marks a pivotal moment in one of America’s most enduring legal battles.
