Appeals court temporarily blocks 9/11 plea deals

The appeals court temporarily blocked accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed from entering a guilty plea that would spare him from execution for the Sept. 11 attacks, as reported by the Biden administration.
The court's decision halts an attempt to conclude over two decades of military prosecution plagued by legal troubles, according to the appeals panel.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has led efforts to overturn the plea agreements negotiated by the Defense Department, emphasizing that decisions on the death penalty should be made by him.
Some family members of 9/11 victims expressed disappointment over the plea deal's cancellation, viewing it as a path to finality and justice, as stated by Elizabeth Miller.
