The Joe Biden-Kamala Harris government has reached a plea deal agreement with alleged September 11, 2001, terrorist attack mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM) and several other accused plotters held at Guantanamo Bay. Under the agreement, none of the accused plotters, including KSM, will face the death penalty for perpetrating the deadliest terrorist attack in American history.
“The Convening Authority for Military Commissions has entered into pretrial agreements with Khalid Shaikh Mohammad, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin ‘Attash, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi, three of the co-accused in the 9/11 case,” an Office of Military Commissions (OMC) spokesman stated on Wednesday.
According to family members of 9/11 victims, the OMC has informed them the terrorists will not face the death penalty.
KSM and the other 9/11 plotters, held at the special U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, face charges of providing training, financial support, and other assistance to the al-Qaeda terrorists who perpetrated the attack.
Nearly 3,000 people lost their lives when al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four U.S. airliners and flew two of them into the World Trade Center Buildings in New York City. A third plane flew into the Pentagon, which houses the U.S. Department of Defense in Washington, D.C.
A fourth plane crashed in a Pennsylvania field after passengers overcame the hijackers. It is believed that they intended to fly it into the U.S. Capitol building.
