 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.

The warning came amid rising tensions between the United States and Venezuela following deadly U.S. military strikes in Caribbean waters targeting suspected drug traffickers.

The embassy did not provide specific reasons for the advisory, instead urging Americans to “be aware of your surroundings” and avoid U.S. facilities over the holiday weekend, which coincides with Diwali, a major Hindu festival celebrated by about 35% of Trinidad and Tobago’s 1.4 million residents. Venezuelan waters lie just miles from Trinidad, where some coastal communities are mourning two local fishermen believed to have been killed in a U.S. strike earlier this week.

Trinidad and Tobago officials confirmed the alert stems from threats directed at American citizens, which could be connected to regional tensions. The country’s Minister of Homeland Security, Roger Alexander, said authorities have implemented security measures to respond to potential incidents but declined to provide specific details.

Since early September, six U.S. strikes in the Caribbean have killed at least 29 people. Survivors from the most recent attack on a suspected drug-carrying vessel were taken into custody by U.S. authorities. The Trump administration has described the alleged traffickers as unlawful combatants subject to military action, contributing to heightened unease in the region.
