a trial date forjanuary 2021 has been set for five men, including khalid shaikh mohammed, the alleged states. the trial will take place in a military courtroom in guantanamo bay, cuba. let's get the latest from our north america correspondent peter bowes in los angeles. peter, this date a long time coming? a very long time coming. in fact, if the trial sticks to its schedule, it would be just eight months shorts of the 20th anniversary of the september 11th attacks. shaikh mohammed was detained and arrested by the americans in 2003, he was then moved to guantanamo bay and he and his accomplices were first charged under president george w bush, with the initial aim of having the trial in guantanamo bay. president 0bama then came up with a plan to actually move the trial to a civilian court in new york city. there was a lot of opposition to that and the plan was dropped. they've gone back to guantanamo bay, and that in large part accounts for the delay. lots of legal challenges along the way. how frustrating has that been for the families of those who were killed on that day in new york

a trial date forjanuary 2021 has been set for five men, including khalid shaikh mohammed, the alleged states. the trial will take place in a military courtroom in guantanamo bay, cuba. 0ur north america correspondent, peter bowes, in los angeles, said the date had been a long time coming. khalid shaikh mohammed was captured by the united states in pakistan in 2003 and transferred to the guantanamo bay detention camp three years later. he and his alleged accomplices were initially charged under president george w bush's administration, but their trial was delayed when president 0bama attempted to move the case to a civilian court in new york city. the plan was abandoned when it prompted a public outcry. thatin that in part accounts for much of the delay. how frustrating would that have been for the families of those killed in the attack? clearly would have been very frustrating. honest 3000 people died as a result of the four planes being hijacked, two into the world trade center, one into the pentagon in washington and a fourth into a field in pennsylvania. it was clearly a momentous
