9/11恐怖袭击指控主谋哈立德·谢赫·穆罕默德及其共谋者的审判定于2028年6月进行1。穆罕默德及其共谋者的庭前诉讼已持续超过20年，期间共有5名不同的军事法官主持1。起诉书列有2,976名受害者1。
受害者家属为漫长的司法程序所困扰。他们已多次往返关塔那摩湾参加庭前诉讼，最多进行了6次之行1，但面临年迈亲属可能无法活到审判日期的风险1。诉讼复杂化的一个关键因素是刑讯逼供问题：军事法官驳回了穆罕默德向联邦调查局特工做出的认罪供词，理由是美国中情局对其进行了"非常规肉体和精神虐待"1。法律专家指出刑讯逼供问题是导致诉讼延迟的主要原因1。
2025年初，穆罕默德及两名共谋者曾计划按照有争议的交易认罪以换取不面临死刑审判，但美国政府在最后一刻中止了认罪程序1。
More than two decades after the September 11 attacks, the trial of alleged mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his co-conspirators has yet to begin, with proceedings now scheduled for June 2028.1 The extended pre-trial litigation, which has spanned over 20 years under five different military judges, has left grieving families exhausted and uncertain whether aging relatives will survive to see justice delivered.1
The case involves 2,976 listed victims.1 In early 2025, Mohammed and two co-conspirators were set to enter guilty pleas in exchange for avoiding capital punishment under a controversial arrangement, but the U.S. government abruptly halted the plea agreement at the last moment.1 A military judge subsequently rejected Mohammed's confession to FBI agents, citing what he characterized as "extraordinary physical and mental abuse" inflicted by the Central Intelligence Agency, a determination that has further complicated the legal proceedings.1
Victims' families have made multiple trips to Guantanamo Bay to attend pre-trial hearings—in some cases as many as six visits—only to watch the process continue indefinitely.1 Legal experts have identified the torture issue as the primary driver of the case's prolonged delays.1 For the bereaved, the endless litigation remains a source of deep frustration, with the possibility that elderly relatives may not live long enough to witness the trial's resolution.
