After almost two decades since the September 11th attacks and a year-and-a-half pause due to the coronavirus pandemic, the pretrial hearing of suspected 9/11 architect Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others accused of conspiring in the attacks, continued this week at Guantanamo Bay. Former assistant U.S. attorney and Fox News Contributor Andy McCarthy weighs in on why this trial has dragged on for all these years, the challenges this case faces, and with the upcoming 20th anniversary of September 11th, if we've learned anything from past terrorism cases and the War on Terror.

 

The biggest trial in France's modern history is underway, with the court looking to serve justice to the victims of the November 2015 terror attacks in Paris that left hundreds of French citizens dead or injured. Survivors and families of victims are looking to this trial for closure; meanwhile France will use this trial to investigate how national security failed to catch this attack carried out by ISIS. Fox News Senior Foreign Affairs Correspondent Amy Kellogg joins to discuss the immense significance of the trial in holding the Islamic State terrorists accountable for their attack, the security threat that this trial poses, why France has been a hotspot for terror attacks in the last few years and how families of the victims feel about getting closure through this trial.

 

Plus, commentary by former White House speechwriter and FOX News contributor Marc Thiessen.
