Fifteen years after the gruesome killing of about 3,000 people in the Sept. 11 attack, the trial date for the five 9-11 Attack plotters is still unclear. Latest report at the U.S. naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, revealed that the trial for the "9/11 Five" men accused might not be happening soon despite the scheduled trial on the next couple of weeks.
NPR reporter David Welna, who traveled to Guantanamo to report on the latest court sessions involving the 9-11 attack plotters, claimed that even after 15 years, there seems to be no movement with the case. There had been two war court sessions that only focused on small issues, including female guards not to escort the defendants to the courtroom. Another argument in the court was a censorship of court transcripts. It is said that there's no huge improvement in the case as far as Sept. 11 attack accused are concerned.
Meanwhile, one of the 9-11 attack plotters Mustafa al-Hawsawi said that he needs medical care since because he's suffering painful and humiliating rectal problems, according to Telegraph. The accused claimed that he's being tortured at the prison. Advocacy group, Amnesty International is alleging that the 9-11 attack plotters are being tortured by the U.S. government personnel.
As of this late, there are still 91 captives at Guantanamo, who most of them are detained without any charges for 14 years. About 10 people were charged, 34 were certified by a parole-type board as eligible for transfer. The fate of the remaining detainees is still uncertain since Pres. Barack Obama wants closure of Guantanamo and transfer them to U.S.
