Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III has revoked a plea deal made with three terrorists involved in the Sept. 11 terror attacks, who were awaiting trial in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. Khalid Shaikh Mohammad, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin ‘Attash, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi were originally given plea deals that took the death penalty off the table.
Austin’s decision has sparked controversy, with many expressing relief, including victims’ families and organizations like the Police Benevolent Association of the City of New York and 9/11 Justice. The revocation of the plea deals signals a shift towards seeking justice and accountability for the lives lost on 9/11.
The White House denies involvement in the plea deal process and President Biden previously rejected a proposal to spare the suspects from the death penalty. The defendants are accused of aiding the 19 terrorists who carried out the attacks, resulting in nearly 3,000 deaths.
As the quest for justice continues, the focus remains on uncovering the full truth behind the attacks and holding all responsible parties accountable, including the Saudi government. The revocation of the plea deals is seen as a step towards transparency and ensuring justice for the victims and their families.
