Behind the Meme: Famous Viral Photo Face Spent 20 Years in Jail
A new development has occurred in the legal proceedings of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind behind the Twin Towers attack on September 11, 2001. After 20 years of ongoing trials, the date for Mohammed's retrial has been determined. On the other hand, the photograph taken at the time of Mohammed's capture has been one of the viral images on social media for many years.
The individual known as the 'mastermind' behind the September 11 attacks has been in Guantanamo Prison for 20 years: His case will be revisited in 2028.
Once considered one of the top figures in Al-Qaeda, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is known as the 'mastermind' behind the September 11 Attacks. Mohammed, who was captured in Pakistan in March 2003, was initially held at one of the CIA's secret facilities in Poland. Subsequently, in September 2006, he was transferred to the Guantanamo Naval Base located in Cuba. According to international reports leaked to the public, the defendant was subjected to severe interrogation techniques and torture during his time in these clandestine prisons.
There has been a recent development in the case of Mohammed, who has been held in Guantanamo Prison for nearly two decades. In July 2025, the US Court of Appeals invalidated an agreement that would exempt Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two other defendants from the death penalty, provided they admit their crimes.
However, the latest development suggests that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will be put on trial in 2028. Yet, it is indicated that Mohammed's case, who has been in Guantanamo for 20 years, could be postponed once again.
