Full story

Just days before the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks, five alleged plotters of the attacks appeared in court for a pretrial hearing Tuesday, according to multiple news sources.

The five are Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin ‘Attash, Ramzi Bin al-Shibh, Ammar al Baluchi, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi. Sheikh Mohammed has been widely referred to as the mastermind behind the attacks.

The video above shows Guantanamo Bay, where the hearing took place, as well as clips from an interview with James Connell, the lawyer for al Baluchi.

According to CNN, Tuesday’s hearing was the first time the five have appeared in court since February 2020. They were originally arraigned back in 2012.

Since then, there’s been a series of delays. Tuesday’s hearing ended an 18-month delay caused by the pandemic and personnel changes. Connell said his client actually welcomed Tuesday’s pretrial hearing.

“The man has been in lockdown for as long as everyone else has been in lockdown, and to see people that he hasn’t, his legal team that he hasn’t seen in a long time is a cause for pleasure,” Connell said. “He’s pleased to be back in court, he’s pleased to see the case move forward, and he’s pleased to see his legal team after a long isolation related to Covid.”

One of the personnel changes that played a role in the latest delay was with the presiding judge. According to CNN, Tuesday’s hearing was the first in the case for Air Force Judge Col. Matthew N. McCall.

Whether or not McCall should preside over the case at all has been an ongoing issue. Prosecutors protested McCall’s appointment initially because he did not have two years of experience as a military judge. McCall recused himself and was later reappointed after he acquired the requisite experience to preside over the case.
CNN reported a military appeals court ruled McCall could preside Tuesday. However, the ruling also said any decisions McCall made while he served as the judge on the case before he acquired the requisite experience were no longer valid.
Four judges in total have presided over in-person hearings in the case. Pretrial hearings related to the judge are expected to continue on Wednesday.
