Khalid Sheikh Mohammed 9/11 military trial

Overview

Legal proceedings against Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the September 11 attacks, and three co-defendants face ongoing delays at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp. These delays stem from procedural disputes regarding the admissibility of evidence and allegations of torture during interrogations at CIA black sites.

The legal process was significantly impacted in July 2025 when a U.S. appeals court overturned a plea agreement that would have allowed Mohammed and two others to avoid the death penalty in exchange for guilty pleas.

Following a rejected prosecution request to begin proceedings in January 2027, a U.S. military judge has tentatively scheduled the trial to begin on June 5, 2028. The judge noted that a realistic timeline is necessary to resolve complex pretrial evidentiary and compliance motions.
