AL NASHIRI HEARING ARCHIVES
Military Commission Hearings for Abd Al Rahim Hussein Muhammed Abdu Al Nashiri
The Military Commissions hearings for Nashiri are pre-trial hearings in preparation to try charges stemming from the October 2000 bombing of the USS Cole and an attempted attack in January 2000 on USS The Sullivans. Additional charges that were associated with an attempted attack in October 2002 on the M/V Limburg were dismissed in August 2014; though the government has appealed the dismissal of these charges, the appeal appears to be in limbo, and the charges have not been addressed in Nashiri’s pretrial.

KHAN HEARING ARCHIVES
Military Commission Hearings for Majid Khan
The Military Commissions hearings for Majid Khan are pre-sentencing hearings, determining if and how it is reasonable to sentence Khan for crimes to which he has pled guilty. In 2012, Khan pled guilty to the charges brought against him and agreed to delay sentencing for four years. In 2016, Khan withdrew his plea of guilty to one of the charges that could no longer be adjudicated in military commissions (“providing material support for terrorism”) and requested a further three-year delay to his sentencing hearings. In April 2019, Khan’s defense team stated their continuing intent to pursue a mitigation case in the sentencing sessions.
Judge Col. Mark M. Milam was detailed 12 MAY 2021 to preside over the Military Commissions pertaining to Majid Khan and underwent VOIR DIRE on 27 JULY 2021. He was preceded by Chief Judge of Military Commissions, Army Col. Douglas K. Watkins.
