Pre-trial hearings for five 9/11 suspects delayed for 18 months by COVID resume at Guantanamo Bay

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] On Tuesday the cases against five 9/11 suspects will resume, with pre-trial hearings being held for the first time since February 2020

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, described as the 'mastermind' of the plot, is one of the five whose case will resume

Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin 'Attash, Ramzi Bin al-Shibh, Ali Abdul Aziz Ali, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi will also have their cases advance

The five all face the death penalty if convicted but much of their defense rests on the fact that they were all tortured while in custody

The 10 days of hearings are expected to be largely dealing with administrative issues and the five are not thought likely to address the court

There have been more than 40 rounds of pretrial hearings since the five detainees were arraigned in May 2012

No date has been set for their trial to begin and Joe Biden has said he wishes to close Guantanamo Bay - but he has not given indication of when
