Military commissions for four men accused of involvement in the September 11 attacks will finally proceed in 2028, marking the end of a two-decade legal process at the U.S. detention facility in Guantánamo Bay. The long-delayed proceedings follow years of legal challenges and procedural setbacks, raising questions about justice and accountability for one of the most notorious terrorist plots in history. With the trials now scheduled, attention turns to whether the case will deliver closure—or further controversy—after decades of uncertainty. The decision comes as the facility itself remains a symbol of contentious U.S. counterterrorism policy.
After two decades at Guantánamo Bay, trials for four alleged 9/11 conspirators have been set for 2028.
