Judge Throws Out Last Sept. 11 Defendant's Guantánamo Confession
Original: Judge Throws Out Last Defendant's Confession in Sept. 11 Case at Guantánamo https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/07/us/politi
A military judge at Guantánamo Bay has ruled that the confession of the final remaining defendant in the September 11 case cannot be used, throwing out the last of the defendants' statements in the long-running proceedings. The decision deals a fresh setback to efforts to prosecute the alleged plotters of the 2001 attacks, a case that has been stalled at the US naval base for years amid disputes over torture-tainted evidence.
Why now: The ruling is a major new development in the prolonged and controversial Sept. 11 prosecutions at Guantánamo.
