9/11 hijackers' movements in Spain and legal status of Ramzi Binalshibh
The 9/11 terrorist attacks involved 19 Al Qaeda militants who hijacked four planes, striking the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, resulting in nearly 3,000 deaths.
Details regarding the planning of the attacks include the involvement of Mohamed Atta, the pilot of the first plane, and Ramzi Binalshibh, a coordinator. Records indicate that in July 2001, Atta and Binalshibh traveled through regions in Spain, including Tarragona, Reus, and Salou, to finalize details and obtain documentation.
Ramzi Binalshibh, who was held at Guantanamo Bay, has been excluded from a military trial scheduled for June 5, 2028, due to severe psychological consequences resulting from systematic torture, including sleep deprivation and waterboarding.
