Khalid Sheikh Mohammed faces Guantanamo trial for 9/11
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, and four alleged co-conspirators will be tried in a military commission at Guantanamo Bay, not a civilian court.
“We simply cannot allow a trial to be delayed any longer,” Attorney General Eric Holder said.
The Obama administration abandoned plans to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in a US court, amid fierce opposition.
President Obama recently lifted a freeze on new military terror trials.
