New Delhi, Aug. 27 -- Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the accused mastermind of the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States, and three co-defendants will face trial before a US military tribunal in June 2028, according to a scheduling order issued by a military judge.

US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Michael Schrama ordered the trial to begin on June 5, 2028, marking the latest development in a case that has been stalled by years of legal disputes involving the four men held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The defendants are Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak bin 'Atash, Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi, and Ali Abdul Aziz Ali.

The proceedings will begin with the selection of a panel made up entirely of military service members...
