9/11 mastermind will not testify at bin Laden kin trial

9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is barred from testifying in the terror trial of Osama bin Laden’s terror-spokesman son-in-law, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.

Manhattan federal Judge Lewis Kaplan rejected the request by Sulaiman Abu Ghaith’s defense lawyers, siding with prosecutors who argued that they waited too long to make the request — and that the point is moot anyway because KSM recently indicated in writing that he wouldn’t testify.

Kaplan called KSM’s potential testimony “baseless” to the case, adding “there is not a shred of evidence” that Mohammed and Abu Ghaith ever met.

“There’s nothing showing that [Mohammed] has personal knowledge of anything of importance to this matter,” Kaplan said.

Defense lawyers had wanted Kaplan to allow a deposition or live testimony via closed-circuit television from KSM, who is locked up in Guantánamo Bay, awaiting his own trial.

Mohammed, in a statement filed Sunday, claimed Abu Ghaith was nothing more than a talking head, who had no role in 9/11.

“[Abu Ghaith] was not a military man and had nothing to do with military operations,” Mohammed explained in court papers filed by Abu Ghaith’s defense.

Kaplan ruled that the statement doesn’t contain any evidence admissible in court, adding it’s “hearsay.”

Abu Ghaith, 48, faces life in prison if convicted of conspiring to kill Americans and of providing material support to al Qaeda.
