 Military judge suppresses Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s FBI confession in 9/11 case A military judge has excluded a confession that alleged Sept. 11 attacks mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed gave to FBI agents nearly 20 years ago, ruling that the statements were not made voluntarily. The decision is a setback for the U.S. government's long-running effort to prosecute Mohammed, who is accused of helping develop the plot to hijack planes and crash them into the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Mohammed remains detained at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, alongside other defendants awaiting trial. Lt. Col. Michael Schrama, the judge overseeing the case, scheduled a June 2028 trial for Mohammed and three other defendants earlier this week.

LGBT PEOPLE HAVE COMMITTED NO CRIME- GHANAIAN TOP CARDINAL 'PETER TURKSON '.(PHOTO).


“LGBT people may not be criminalised because they've committed no crime."
 
Those are the views of cardinal Peter Turkson, from Ghana, who has often been tipped as a possible contender to be Africa’s first pope, after Benedict 16.

Last month, Pope Francis suggested he would be open to having the Catholic Church bless same-sex couples.

In an interview with the BBC’s ‘Hardtalk’, Cardinal Turkson added that in regard to homosexuality, “it’s time to begin education, to help people understand what this reality, this phenomenon is”.
 
His views are at odds with those of Catholic bishops in Ghana, who say homosexuality is "despicable".
 
But although embracing a more tolerant attitude than many of his counterparts, he says that changes within the Catholic Church should not be “something to be imposed on cultures which are not yet ready to accept stuff like that".
 
Several African nations have recently adopted legislation condemning homosexuality.
 
In July, Ghanaian MPs backed measures in a proposed bill, which has still not completed its passage through parliament, that would make identifying as LGBT punishable with a three-year prison sentence.
 
People who campaign for LGBT rights in Ghana could also face up to 10 years in jail. Gay sex is already against the law and carries a three-year prison sentence.
