 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.

 Kenyan police open fire at protest against reported abductions, witnesses say

Adel Nduba, a resident of Mathare, said the protest was called ‌because ⁠his brother had not been seen since he was arrested a week ago.

Kenya's ​President William Ruto has acknowledged "instances of excessive ​and ⁠extrajudicial actions by members of the security services". He said earlier this month that 2 billion Kenyan shillings ($15.5 million) had ⁠been ​set aside for victims of protest-related ​abuses.
