Washington, July 14: Al-Qaeda terror suspect and 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed would be brought to justice, the White House said today, even as the United States is struggling to find a way out for the place and timing of his trial.
“Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will be brought to justice.
That is something that everybody can be assured of,” White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters at his daily news conference in response to a question.
Khalid Sheikh, 46, was captured in Rawalpindi in Pakistan on March 1, 2003, by the ISI, possibly in a joint action with agents of the American Diplomatic Security Service, and has been in US custody since that time.
The 9/11 Commission Report alleges that Khalid, a Kuwaiti national, was “the principal architect of the 9/11 attacks.
