He is being held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, along with several other defendants who are awaiting trial.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The judge in the case, Lt. Col. Michael Schrama, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/khalid-sheikh-mohammed-september-11-mastermind-trial\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">scheduled a trial for Mohammed and three other men<\/a><\/span> for June 2028 earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p>In Friday&#8217;s court order, which has not been publicly released, Schrama suppressed the statements that Mohammed made to the FBI when he was interrogated over the course of four days in Guantanamo Bay in January 2007.<\/p>\n<p>Years earlier, Mohammed was captured and held by the CIA, which subjected him to <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/stream\/SenateCIATortureReport\/SenateCIATortureReport_djvu.txt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">waterboarding<\/a> and other tactics that are widely viewed as torture during interrogation sessions \u2014 leading Mohammed&#8217;s later statements to a separate FBI team to be challenged by attorneys.<\/p>\n<p>Schrama found that the CIA&#8217;s handling of Mohammed had instilled in him a fear that he would be severely mistreated if he failed to comply with his interrogators. He also found that Mohammed was not given a Miranda warning informing him of the right to remain silent, and was told he could not speak to a lawyer.<\/p>\n<p>The prosecutor in Mohammed&#8217;s case, Rear Adm. Aaron C. Rugh, told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/08\/28\/us\/politics\/september11-confession-trial.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The New York Times<\/a> the government would &#8220;make a decision on whether to appeal in the near future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Retired FBI agent Frank Pellegrino, who interviewed Mohammed in 2007, told CBS News he believes Mohammed confessed to his role in the Sept. 11 attacks voluntarily because &#8220;I couldn&#8217;t have told him in any more explicit a way that he did not have to talk to me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now, whether that fits within what is required legally, based on other activities, a court&#8217;s got to decide that,&#8221; Pellegrino continued.<\/p>\n<p>Pellegrino and another agent, Brian Antol, spoke to CBS News in an upcoming special, &#8220;Daughters of 9\/11,&#8221; which will premiere on Sept. 11, 2026, on CBS and Paramount+.<\/p>\n<p>If convicted in the military court proceedings, Mohammed could face the death penalty. He and two other defendants reached plea deals in 2024 that would allow them to avoid capital punishment, but those plea agreements were tossed out by an appeals court last year after Biden-era Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/plea-deal-911-mastermind-khalid-sheikh-mohammed-thrown-out\/\"
