US EditionBiden administration asks court to block plea deal for alleged mastermind of 9/11 attacks
- The Biden Administration asked a federal appeals court to block a plea agreement for accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two co-defendants that would spare them the risk of the death penalty.
- The Justice Department argued that the government would be irreparably harmed if the guilty pleas were accepted, denying a chance for a public trial and capital punishment.
- The military judge at Guantanamo Bay rejected Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's effort to throw out the plea agreement, stating he had no power to do so.
- The Justice Department stated that a short delay would not harm the defendants, as the prosecution has been ongoing since 2012 and plea agreements would likely result in long prison sentences.
