Biden-Harris Administration Reaches Plea Deals With 9/11 Mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, 2 Others

The Biden-Harris administration has reached plea deals with three of the five alleged Al Qaeda terrorists who are being held at Guantanamo Bay for their roles in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the U.S.

Prosecutors have entered into pretrial agreements with 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin ‘Attash, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi.

The Department of Defense would not make public specific terms and conditions of the plea deals.

“The three accused, along with Ali Abdul Aziz Ali and Ramzi Bin al Shibh, were initially charged jointly and arraigned on June 5, 2008, and then were again charged jointly and arraigned a second time on May 5, 2012, in connection with their alleged roles in the September 11, 2001, attacks against the United States,” the Pentagon said.

The New York Post reported that the victims’ families were told by the Office of Military Commissions (OMC) in a letter that the plea deals would allow the three terrorists to be spared the death penalty.

The letter said in-part: “In exchange for the removal of the death penalty as a possible punishment, these three accused have agreed to plead guilty to all of the charged offenses, including the murder of the 2,976 people listed in the charge sheet.”

Nearly 3,000 people were killed during the 9/11 attacks, the largest terrorist attack in history.

“I feel like I was kicked,” said retired police officer Jim Smith, whose wife, Moira Smith, was the only female police officer who died on 9/11. “The prosecution and families have waited 23 years to have our day in court to put on the record what these animals did to our loved ones. They took that opportunity away from us. They committed the worst crime in the history of our country, they should receive the highest penalty.”
