The men have spent years at Guantánamo Bay, with legal proceedings mired in pre-trial conflicts over CIA’s interrogation methods
A trial date has been set for four men who have spent years held in Guantánamo Bay for their alleged involvement in the 9/11 attack, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who is accused as the mastermind of the plot.
In a ruling that came just weeks before the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attack that brought down the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers in New York City and killed nearly 3,000 people, Judge Lt Col Michael Schrama issued an order Wednesday, for the trial to begin on 5 June 2028.
