A U.S. military judge set June 2028 as the trial date for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and three co-defendants accused of orchestrating the September 11, 2001 attacks. The decision comes after a federal appeals court voided plea agreements that would have spared the defendants the death penalty.

A military judge on Wednesday set a June 2028 trial date for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and three other men accused of plotting the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
**The big picture:** Air Force Lt. Col. Michael Schrama, a military commissions judge, set the tentative trial date for June 5, 2028 — some 20 years after Mohammed and his co-defendants were first arraigned in 2008 and 27 years after the 9/11 attacks.
* Plea agreements that would have spared Mohammed and two co-defendants the death penalty were thrown out by a divided federal appeals court in July 2025. The Supreme Court is considering whether to review that decision.
**Zoom in:** Mohammed is due to stand trial alongside Walid bin Attash, Ali Abdul Aziz Ali and Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi.
* Military prosecutors had wanted a January 2027 trial, but Schrama determined that wasn't realistic.
