The trial of the mastermind of the Sept. 11 held in Guantanamo

The trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks and four others accused of involvement in the operation, finally be held before a special military tribunal at the Guantanamo naval base, and not before a court of law in New York. The information is filtered, Monday, April 4 and should be confirmed at a press conference the Minister of Justice U.S.

Attorney General Eric Holder to 20 hours. The Obama administration wanted to try the five men in the heart of Manhattan federal court of law, not military, something opposed by many local officials. In December 2010, the House of Representatives had passed a bill that prohibits the transfer of the territory of the United States from Guantanamo detainees.

The special military tribunals at Guantanamo have been created in 2006 by George W. Bush and reformed by the Obama Administration and Congress in the fall of 2009. Despite progress, they are always criticized for how little is being done on the Rights of the defense.
