Military judge sets trial date for Guantánamo detainees accused of plotting attacks

A military judge set a June 5, 2028, trial date for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and three other men accused of plotting the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, according to multiple reports on Wednesday. The decision follows a federal appeals court’s rejection of plea agreements that would have spared Mohammed and two co-defendants the death penalty.

Mohammed, held at Guantánamo Bay since 2006, will stand trial alongside Walid bin Attash, Ali Abdul Aziz Ali and Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi. Military prosecutors had sought a January 2027 trial, but Air Force Lt. Col. Michael Schrama determined that timeline was unrealistic. The Supreme Court is considering whether to review the appeals court’s decision.

The trial date comes nearly 27 years after the 9/11 attacks and 20 years after the defendants were first arraigned in 2008. Previous attempts to schedule a trial, including a 2021 date, were delayed.

The case has drawn renewed attention amid ongoing legal disputes over the handling of the defendants, who have been in U.S. custody for decades. The military commissions system has faced criticism for prolonged pretrial proceedings and unresolved legal questions.
