San Francisco Oakland San Jose, CA, August 26, 2026 —
The trial for the individual described as the self-proclaimed “mastermind” of the September 11, 2001, attacks has been officially scheduled to begin in June 2028. The ruling was issued by a military judge, setting a date for proceedings that will commence nearly 25 years after the devastating events.
Details regarding the specific charges and the proceedings of the trial are expected to be elaborated upon as the date approaches. The scheduling of this trial marks a significant milestone in the legal process related to the 9/11 attacks.
The September 11 attacks, which occurred on September 11, 2001, involved the coordinated hijacking of four commercial airplanes by 19 terrorists. Two of the planes were deliberately crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, causing their collapse. A third plane struck the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C. The fourth plane crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after passengers attempted to regain control from the hijackers. A total of 2,977 people were killed in the attacks, not including the 19 hijackers.
The designation of the individual as the “mastermind” stems from allegations and previous proceedings. The lengthy interval between the attacks and the upcoming trial is attributed to various factors inherent in military justice proceedings and the complexities of the case.
