Military Judge Dismisses Part of Sept. 11 Suspect’s Confession

A military judge has dismissed part of a confession made by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged planner behind the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The decision was made on Friday by Lt. Col. Michael Schrama.

The ruling stated that the statements Mohammed gave to investigators in 2007 were not made voluntarily. This information comes as reported by the New York Post.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, accused of orchestrating the 9/11 attacks, has been detained at Guantánamo Bay since 2003.

This development could complicate the longstanding process to bring Mohammed to trial.

The story is still unfolding, so updates may follow.
