Lawyers for accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed battle to let his guilty plea go forward

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — Lawyers for accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed are urging a federal appeals panel to let his scheduled guilty plea Friday n Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, go forward in a plea agreement that would spare him and two co-defendants the risk of the death penalty in al-Qaida’s notorious Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Defense lawyers in a filing late Wednesday described Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s attempts to throw out a plea deal that his own military had negotiated and approved as the latest in two decades of “fitful” and “negligent” mishandling of the case by the U.S. military and successive administrations. Austin unexpectedly renounced the plea agreement after it was announced this summer, and the Biden administration’s Justice Department is seeking to block Mohammed’s plea from going forward at a U.S. military commission courtroom. With the prosecution in the Sept. 11 attacks dragging on for decades and no conclusion in sight, military prosecutors this summer notified families of the victims that the senior Pentagon official overseeing Guantanamo had approved a plea deal after more than two years of negotiations.
