 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.

Ukraine mourns two journalists killed in Russian drone strike

Mourners gathered at a Kyiv church on Monday to pay tribute to two Ukrainian journalists killed last week when a Russian drone struck their vehicle in the Donetsk region.

War correspondent Olena Hubanova, who worked under the pseudonym Alyona Gramova, and cameraman Yevhen Karmazin died Thursday in Kramatorsk, about 20 kilometers from the front line, after a Russian Lancet drone hit their car. Another journalist traveling with them was injured.

The funeral service at St. Michael’s Golden-Domed Monastery honored the two journalists side by side, with coffins adorned in fresh roses. Priest Viktor Zhyvchyk said, “Defending the truth is one of the highest forms of love for one’s neighbor. In their effort to show the truth to the world, these journalists gave their lives.”

Regional governor Vadym Filashkin praised their dedication, noting they had covered evacuations, enemy crimes, and stories of Ukrainian defenders from the earliest days of Russia’s full-scale invasion. Hubanova and Karmazin were often among the first to arrive in the most dangerous areas.

Colleague Olha Mykhaliuk, who works with the same outlet as Hubanova, brought blue and yellow flowers to the ceremony and described reporting from front-line areas as risky but essential. “Attacks on journalists have become more frequent. The enemy sees it as a kind of victory,” she said.

Since February 2022, at least 135 media workers have been killed covering the war, according to Ukraine’s National Union of Journalists. Hubanova was from Yenakiieve, a city occupied by Russian forces since 2014, while 33-year-old Karmazin was a native of Kramatorsk and is survived by his wife and son.
