 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. In an order issued Friday that has not been made public, Schrama barred prosecutors from using statements Mohammed made during four days of FBI questioning at Guantanamo in January 2007.

CHOLERA OUTBREAK IN SUDAN'S CAPITAL KILLS 70 IN TWO DAYS. (PHOTO).


 Cholera outbreak in Sudan's capital kills 70 in two days


A cholera outbreak in Sudan's capital has killed 70 people in two days, health officials said, as Khartoum battles a fast-spreading epidemic amid a collapse of basic services, AFP reported.


The health ministry for Khartoum State said in an updated statement on Thursday it had recorded 942 new infections and 25 deaths on Wednesday, following 1,177 cases and 45 deaths on Tuesday.


The Sudanese military had accused the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of launching attacks across Khartoum earlier this month, including on three power stations, triggering a massive blackout that disrupted electricity and water services and unleashed a cholera outbreak.


In a statement on Tuesday, the health ministry reported more than 2,700 cholera infections and 172 deaths in just seven days across six states, with 90 percent of cases concentrated in Khartoum state.


Compounded by war


Cholera is endemic to Sudan, but outbreaks have become worse and more frequent since the war broke out in 2023, wrecking already fragile water, sanitation and health infrastructure.


On Tuesday, the ministry said 51 people had died of cholera out of more than 2,300 reported cases over the past three weeks, 90 percent of them in Khartoum state.


Sudan's doctors' union had sounded and alarm, saying the actual figures were far higher than those reported by the ministry, with hundreds dead in the capital alone.


In a statement, it warned there was a "severe shortage of intravenous solutions, a lack of clean water sources and a near-total absence of sterilisation equipment and disinfectants" in the city's hospitals.
