法官驳回9·11袭击主谋哈立德·谢赫·穆罕默德的认罪供词

据哥伦比亚广播公司新闻获悉,一名军事法官于周五驳回了被控9·11袭击主谋哈立德·谢赫·穆罕默德近20年前向联邦调查局探员作出的认罪供词,认定该供词并非自愿作出。

这一裁决对联邦政府长期拖延的起诉穆罕默德的行动造成打击。穆罕默德被指控策划了将飞机撞向五角大楼和世界贸易中心的阴谋。他与其他几名等待审判的被告一同被关押在古巴关塔那摩湾。

本案法官迈克尔·施拉马中校本周早些时候将穆罕默德及另外三名男子的审判安排在2028年6月进行。

在周五尚未公开的法庭命令中,施拉马驳回了穆罕默德2007年1月在关塔那摩湾接受四天审讯期间向联邦调查局所作的供述。

早在更早时候,穆罕默德就被中央情报局抓获并关押,期间该局对其实施了水刑及其他普遍被视为酷刑的审讯手段——这导致穆罕默德后来向另一组联邦调查局探员作出的供述遭到其律师的质疑。

施拉马认定,中央情报局对待穆罕默德的方式让他心生恐惧,担心如果不配合审讯人员就会遭受严重虐待。他还发现,穆罕默德未被告知享有米兰达权利,即保持沉默的权利,并且被告知无法与律师交谈。

穆罕默德案的检察官、海军少将亚伦·C·拉夫告诉《纽约时报》,政府将“在不久的将来就是否提起上诉作出决定”。

2007年曾对穆罕默德进行过讯问的退休联邦调查局探员弗兰克·佩莱格里诺告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻,他认为穆罕默德是自愿承认参与9·11袭击的,因为“我当时已经再清楚不过地告诉他,他不必和我谈话”。

“至于这是否符合法律要求,基于其他相关行为,那得由法院来裁定,”佩莱格里诺补充道。

佩莱格里诺和另一名探员布莱恩·安托尔将在即将播出的专题节目《9·11遇难者的女儿们》中接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻采访,该节目将于2026年9月11日在哥伦比亚广播公司和派拉蒙+首播。

如果在军事法庭程序中被定罪,穆罕默德可能面临死刑。他和另外两名被告曾在2024年达成认罪协议,以避免被判处死刑,但这些认罪协议在去年被上诉法院驳回,原因是拜登政府时期的国防部长劳埃德·奥斯汀推翻了这些协议。

Judge throws out confession by alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed

Updated on: August 29, 2026 / 12:39 AM EDT / CBS News

A military judge on Friday tossed out a confession that alleged Sept. 11 attacks mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed delivered to FBI agents almost 20 years ago, CBS News has learned, finding it was not given voluntarily.

The ruling marks a blow to the federal government’s long-delayed effort to prosecute Mohammed, who is accused of developing the plot to crash planes into the Pentagon and World Trade Center. He is being held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, along with several other defendants who are awaiting trial.

The judge in the case, Lt. Col. Michael Schrama, scheduled a trial for Mohammed and three other men for June 2028 earlier this week.

In Friday’s court order, which has not been publicly released, Schrama suppressed the statements that Mohammed made to the FBI when he was interrogated over the course of four days in Guantanamo Bay in January 2007.

Years earlier, Mohammed was captured and held by the CIA, which subjected him to waterboarding and other tactics that are widely viewed as torture during interrogation sessions — leading Mohammed’s later statements to a separate FBI team to be challenged by attorneys.

Schrama found that the CIA’s handling of Mohammed had instilled in him a fear that he would be severely mistreated if he failed to comply with his interrogators. He also found that Mohammed was not given a Miranda warning informing him of the right to remain silent, and was told he could not speak to a lawyer.

The prosecutor in Mohammed’s case, Rear Adm. Aaron C. Rugh, told The New York Times the government would “make a decision on whether to appeal in the near future.”

Retired FBI agent Frank Pellegrino, who interviewed Mohammed in 2007, told CBS News he believes Mohammed confessed to his role in the Sept. 11 attacks voluntarily because “I couldn’t have told him in any more explicit a way that he did not have to talk to me.”

“Now, whether that fits within what is required legally, based on other activities, a court’s got to decide that,” Pellegrino continued.

Pellegrino and another agent, Brian Antol, spoke to CBS News in an upcoming special, “Daughters of 9/11,” which will premiere on Sept. 11, 2026, on CBS and Paramount+.

If convicted in the military court proceedings, Mohammed could face the death penalty. He and two other defendants reached plea deals in 2024 that would allow them to avoid capital punishment, but those plea agreements were tossed out by an appeals court last year after Biden-era Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin overruled them.
