 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.

AL JAZEERA CORRESPONDENT ANAS AL-SHARIF AND FOUR JOURNALISTS KILLED IN ISRAELI STRIKE OUTSIDE GAZA CITY. (PHOTO).


 Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif and four journalists killed in Israeli strike outside Gaza City

Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif and four colleagues were killed in an Israeli strike on a tent used by reporters outside al-Shifa Hospital near Gaza City, according to the network. The attack claimed seven lives in total, including correspondent Mohammed Qreiqeh and camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal, and Moamen Aliwa. The strike was confirmed by the Israeli military and multiple news organizations.

Israeli officials accused the 28-year-old al-Sharif of being a Hamas operative involved in rocket attacks, a claim rejected by Al Jazeera. Al-Sharif was a prominent correspondent for Al Jazeera Arabic, reporting extensively from northern Gaza since the conflict began. Moments before his death, he posted a video on X showing intense Israeli bombardment in Gaza City’s eastern and southern areas, with explosions audible in the background. In a final post, he wrote, “If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice.”

Images shared by photographers showed al-Sharif’s severely burned body being cared for by Palestinian emergency workers. Al Jazeera has condemned the Israeli military for a “campaign of incitement” against its journalists, particularly targeting al-Sharif. Last month, the Committee to Protect Journalists expressed concern for his safety.

Since the war began in October, more than 200 journalists and media workers have died in Gaza, including several from Al Jazeera and their relatives. Israel has frequently accused Palestinian reporters of militant ties, a charge critics say is intended to discredit coverage of the conflict.
