Coronavirus Delays Long-Stalled Trial of 9/11 Mastermind, 4 Accomplices

The Chinese coronavirus pandemic has once again delayed the long-awaited death penalty trial of the self-professed 9/11 mastermind and his four co-conspirators held at the U.S. military prison in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, the judge handling the cases revealed recently.

Justice remains elusive nearly two decades after the jihadis executed the attack that left about 3,000 people dead and over 6,000 injured, marking the deadliest assault on U.S. soil.

U.S. officials charged the late Osama bin Laden’s close ally Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM) alongside his nephew, Ammar al-Baluchi, accused hijacking trainer Walid bin Attash, facilitator Ramzi bin al-Shibh, and al-Qaeda money man Mustafa al-Hawsawi with war crimes punishable by death for allegedly helping 19 hijackers carry out the heinous attack...

American service-members captured KSM in 2003 and transferred him to the GITMO prison in 2006...

Of the 40 men still held at Guantanamo, two reportedly remain imprisoned after conviction, and only seven, including the five accused 9/11 attackers, face charges before the military commission.

U.S. authorities are holding the remaining 31 without charge or trial. Most (26) of the 40 prisoners are reportedly considered “forever prisoners,” or too dangerous to release.

Maybe they still use these guys for Intel purposes, giving them food pellet rewards for correct information. Some reports said that waterboarding KSM got us bin Laden's courier, who got us bin Laden.

KSM, in his younger days:

To quote Sideshow Bob, “You can’t keep the democrats out of the White House forever, and when they get in, I’m back on the streets, with all my criminal buddies!”
