The plea deals with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin \u2018Attash and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi allow them to plead guilty to lesser charges preventing them from receiving a death sentence.<\/p>\n<h3>Pentagon chief loses bid to reject 9\/11 plea deals<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>WASHINGTON \u2014 A military appeals court has ruled against Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin\u2019s effort to throw out the plea deals reached for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two other defendants in the 9\/11 attacks, a U.S. official said.<\/p>\n<p>The decision puts back on track the agreements that would have the three men plead guilty to one of the deadliest attacks on the United States in exchange for being spared the possibility of the death penalty. The attacks by al-Qaida killed nearly 3,000 people on Sept. 11, 2001, and helped spur U.S. invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq in what the George W. Bush administration called its war on terror.<\/p>\n<p>The military appeals court released its ruling Monday night, according to the U.S. official, who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.<\/p>\n<p>Military prosecutors and defense attorneys for Mohammed, the accused mastermind of the attacks, and two co-defendants reached the plea agreements after two years of government-approved negotiations. The deals were announced late last summer.<\/p>\n<p>Supporters of the plea agreements see them as a way of resolving the legally troubled case against the men at the U.S. military commission at Guantanamo Bay naval base in Cuba. Pretrial hearings for Mohammed, Walid bin Attash and Mustafa al-Hawsawi have been underway for more than a decade.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/politics\/government\/the-pentagon-chief-loses-bid-to-reject-9-11-plea-deals\/ar-AA1wLcUS?ocid=TobArticle\">AP News<\/a><br \/>\nRight on the heels of an ISIS flagged terror attack in New Orleans. 19 and a wake-up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Khalid Sheikh Mohammed A U.S. military court upheld a judge\u2019s ruling that found SecDef Austin acted &hellip; <a title=\"KSM Plea Deal Back On\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=164920\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">KSM Plea Deal Back On<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":657,"featured_media":164922,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,271],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-164920","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-legal","category-ygbsm"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164920","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/657"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=164920"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164920\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/164922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=164920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=164920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=164920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
