Judge restores controversial 9\/11 terrorist plea deals involving Khalid Sheikh Mohammed: report<\/h3>\n

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed would be spared the death penalty if the deal goes through<\/em>

A military judge is putting the controversial plea deals involving 9\/11 terrorist Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two codefendants back on the table, contradicting an order by Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin earlier this year.<\/p>\n

An anonymous official told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the decision to reinstate the deals was made by Air Force Col. and Judge Matthew McCall. The U.S. military has not announced the ruling yet.<\/p>\n

The plea deals in the long-running case against the terrorists were struck earlier this summer. The defendants are incarcerated in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and the deals were approved by the top official of the Gitmo military commission.<\/p>\n

If the plea bargains go through, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed \u2013 suspected of being the principal architect of the 9\/11 attacks \u2013 and two codefendants would avoid the death penalty in exchange for guilty pleas.

\nIn July, Pentagon officials said that Austin was surprised by the news of the deals.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
