Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Trial Set | Austin News
Description
The long-awaited trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind behind 9/11, is finally set — nearly 25 years after the attacks that killed nearly 3,000. Captured in Pakistan in 2003 and held at Guantanamo Bay, he faces charges for orchestrating the hijackings that destroyed the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. After a years-long legal battle over tainted evidence and a controversial plea deal offering life sentences and victim testimony (which was scrapped by the Defense Secretary citing public interest in a full military commission trial), the case is now back on track for a historic courtroom showdown.
