Judge to rule whether 9/11 defendant deemed psychotic, delusional from CIA torture can stand trial: report

A military judge could rule as soon as Thursday whether an accused 9/11 architect held at Guantánamo Bay is competent to stand trial after PTSD diagnosis.

Meanwhile, the families of 9/11 victims and conservatives have expressed outrage at the Biden administration for allowing plea negotiations for four other 9/11 defendants held at the Guantánamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba after the Pentagon notified victims' relatives last month that a pre-trial deal could mean the death penalty is taken off the table more than two decades after the attacks. Al-Shibh's mental issues meant he was not included in the plea negotiations. Danielle Wallace is a reporter for Fox News Digital covering politics, crime, police and more.

As disclosed in a report filed with the trial judge in August, a military medical panel diagnosed al-Shibh with post-traumatic stress disorder with secondary psychotic features, rendering him delusional and psychotic by the torture he underwent years ago while in CIA custody, The New York Times reported.
