 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.

 Ecuador reduces diesel prices slightly as national strike concludes

Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa announced a modest reduction in diesel prices, lowering the cost from $2.80 per gallon to $2.78 on Dec. 15 and further to $2.70 in February. The decision comes shortly after the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador ended a month-long national strike that had blocked major roads to protest the government’s elimination of diesel subsidies, which had increased prices by about $1 per gallon.

The new pricing system, set to take effect Dec. 13, will allow diesel prices to fluctuate based on international oil rates, adjusting up to 5% higher or 10% lower per month depending on West Texas Intermediate crude. The Indigenous Confederation, while ending the strike, criticized government repression that resulted in at least three deaths, dozens of injuries, and over 100 detentions, and called on supporters to campaign against the government’s proposed referendum on constitutional reforms, foreign military bases, legislative changes, and public funding for political parties.
