 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.

 The Kessler twins, German entertainment duo, die together through assisted suicide

Alice and Ellen Kessler, the German twin sisters whose singing and dancing made them European entertainment icons in the 1950s and ’60s, died together by assisted suicide on Monday at the age of 89, the German Society for Humane Dying confirmed.

The organization said the sisters had been considering the decision for some time and had been members for over a year. A doctor and a lawyer conducted preliminary discussions with them to ensure the choice was deliberate and informed. “People who choose this option in Germany must be absolutely clear-headed, free and responsible,” the organization said, adding that such decisions are “thoughtful and consistent, not impulsive.” Germany legalized medically assisted suicide in 2020 after its highest court ruled a prior ban violated constitutional rights.

Born on August 20, 1936, in Nazi Germany, the sisters trained as ballet dancers. Their family fled East Germany in the early 1950s, and the twins launched their careers in West Germany. Known professionally as the Kessler Twins, they became stars in postwar Germany and Italy, also attracting fans in the United States. In February 1963, they made their U.S. television debut on CBS’ “The Red Skelton Hour” and appeared on the cover of Life magazine, billed as “Sensations from Germany: Kessler Twins.” They also performed on “The Ed Sullivan Show,” where they were celebrated for their charm and talent.

In the 1960s, the sisters moved to Italy, posed for the Italian edition of Playboy, and appeared in European films, including a brief role in the Hollywood epic “Sodom and Gomorrah.” They returned to Germany in the 1980s, settling near Munich, and never married. Over their careers, the Kessler Twins received numerous honors, including Germany’s Order of Merit in 1987 and recognition from the Italian government for their contributions to entertainment.
