Mohammed's trial restarted on September 7, 2021. His trial was further postponed on December 18, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On August 30, 2019, a military judge set a trial date of January 11, 2021, for Mohammed's death penalty trial. A 2008 decision by the United States Supreme Court had also drawn into question the legality of the methods used to gain such admissions and the admissibility of such admissions as evidence in a criminal proceeding. In 2012, a former military prosecutor criticized the proceedings as insupportable due to confessions gained under torture. He was charged in February 2008 with war crimes and murder by a U.S. military commission at Guantanamo Bay detention camp, which could carry the death penalty if convicted. In March 2007, after significant interrogations, Mohammed confessed to masterminding the September 11 attacks the Richard Reid shoe bombing attempt to blow up an airliner the Bali nightclub bombing in Indonesia the 1993 World Trade Center bombing the murder of Daniel Pearl and various foiled attacks as well as numerous other crimes. By December 2006, he had been transferred to military custody at Guantanamo Bay detention camp. Immediately after his capture, Mohammad was extraordinarily rendered to secret CIA prison sites in Afghanistan, then Poland, where he was interrogated by U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). Mohammed was captured on March 1, 2003, in the Pakistani city of Rawalpindi by a combined operation of the U.S. Sheikh Mohammed was a member of Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda organization, leading al-Qaeda's propaganda operations from around 1999 until late 2001.
