 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.

 Police to probe Zuma's daughter over South Africans fighting for Russia in Ukraine


South African police said  they will investigate Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla, a daughter of former South African President Jacob Zuma, and two others for their alleged role in luring 17 men to fight for Russia in Ukraine.


The probe follows a formal request from Zuma-Sambudla's half-sister, Nkosazana Bonganini Zuma-Mncube, for authorities to look into the matter.


The South African presidency said earlier this month that it would investigate how the men, between the ages of 20 and 39 years, wound up joining mercenary forces after they sent distress calls for help to return home.


"Ms Mncube claims the men were lured to Russia under false pretences and handed to a Russian mercenary group to fight in the Ukrainian war without their knowledge or consent," police said in a statement, Reuters reported.


An enquiry docket has been handed over to the specialised police unit, Hawks, for further investigation, police added.


Zuma-Sambudla, a senior lawmaker with her father's uMkhonto we Sizwe party, already faces separate charges linked to public violence during deadly unrest in 2021.
