Ramzi bin al-Shibh is one of five defendants accused of being key accomplices to the 9/11 attacks. A military tribunal in Guantánamo Bay found bin al-Shibh mentally unfit for trial. For years, Ramzi bin al-Shibh, 51, was detained in Guantánamo Bay under suspicion that he helped organize the terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people. AdvertisementAdvertisementCol. Matthew McCall, the military judge, agreed on Thursday that al-Shibh should be severed from the trial due to his mental state. "It is no longer possible" to deny "that the CIA torture program did profound harm to the people subjected to it," he said.

FILE - In this April 17, 2019, photo, reviewed by U.S. military officials, the control tower is seen through the razor wire inside the Camp VI detention facility in Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, Cuba. A military medical panel has concluded that one of the five 9/11 defendants held at Guantanamo Bay has been rendered delusional and psychotic by the torture he underwent years ago while in CIA custody. A military judge is expected to rule as soon as Thursday whether al-Shibh’s mental issues render him incompetent to take part in the proceedings against him.

A military judge ruled on Thursday that a defendant in the Sept. 11 case who was tortured by the C.I.A. was ineligible for a death-penalty trial, adopting a finding that the prisoner was too psychologically damaged to help defend himself. Col. Matthew N. McCall, the judge, disqualified Ramzi bin al-Shibh, 51, from what had been a five-defendant conspiracy case in an 11-page ruling on Thursday evening. Mr. bin al-Shibh was charged as an accomplice in the attacks that killed 2,976 people, and is accused of helping organize a cell of hijackers in Hamburg, Germany, whose leader commandeered Flight No. 11 and flew it into the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.

☆ Sanity Question and Plea Talks Shadow Coming Sept. 11 Hearings
  + stars: | 2023-09-11 | by ( Carol Rosenberg | More About Carol Rosenberg | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Prosecutors have issued a new deadline — Sept. 18 — for four detainees at the American military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, to show their willingness to plead guilty to plotting the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and receive a maximum punishment of life in prison. The fifth defendant in the case has been found incompetent to stand trial and is likely to be removed from the case. Without a challenge, the judge is expected to sever him from the case when hearings resume next week after a 22-month hiatus. They describe the deadline as driven by the scheduled Oct. 7 departure of the current overseer of the case, Jeffrey D. Wood. In March 2022, Mr. Wood authorized prosecutors to pursue guilty pleas that would spare the defendants a capital trial to resolve the long-running case.

☆ Man Accused in 9/11 Plot Is Not Fit to Face Trial, Board Says
  + stars: | 2023-08-25 | by ( Carol Rosenberg | More About Carol Rosenberg | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
The finding is the latest setback to prosecution efforts to bring the long-running capital cases at Guantánamo Bay to trial. Last week, a military judge threw out the confession of a man accused of plotting the U.S.S. The question of Mr. bin al-Shibh’s sanity, and capacity to help his lawyers defend him, has shadowed the Sept. 11 conspiracy case since his first court appearance in 2008. He has disrupted pretrial hearings over the years with outbursts, and in court and in filings complained that the C.I.A. The five men are accused of conspiring in the plane hijackings in 2001 that killed nearly 3,000 people in New York City, at the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania.
