Trial for September 11 accused, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, set for June 2028

Market Impact

A U.S. military judge has scheduled the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the September 11 attacks, and three co‑defendants for June 5, 2028. The decision, issued by Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Michael Schrama, follows a U.S. appeals court that blocked plea deals which would have spared Mohammed and two co‑defendants from the death penalty.

The trial will be conducted by a jury of military service members. Opening statements are slated for 30 days after jury selection, with the defense expected to present its case 60 days after the prosecution. The proceedings will conclude with a sentencing phase. Mohammed faces trial alongside Walid bin Attash, Mustafa al‑Hawsawi and Ali Abdul Aziz Ali. The case has been delayed for years due to disputes over evidence obtained while the men were held in CIA facilities and subjected to torture. Schrama rejected a proposal to open the trial in early 2027, citing insufficient time to resolve pre‑trial evidentiary motions.

The U.S. Department of Defense had previously agreed in 2024 to a plea arrangement that would have eliminated the death penalty for Mohammed and two co‑defendants. The deal was revoked by then‑Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin within days, and an appeals court upheld the revocation last month. Mohammed was captured by U.S. forces in Pakistan in March 2003, spent three years in secret CIA prisons, and was transferred to Guantánamo Bay in 2006.
