The pretrial agreement takes the death penalty off the table for Mohammed, Walid Bin 'Attash, and Mustafa al Hawsawi, prosecutors said in a letter obtained by CNN. Families of 9/11 victims and survivors criticized the plea agreements and pushed for more information about Saudi Arabia's possible involvement in the attacks. The military trial against Mohammed and his alleged co-conspirators was delayed for years as the US tried to determine how to handle the issue of torture used against Mohammed and others at secret CIA prisons in the 2000s.

Catch up quick: Alleged plot leader Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two accomplices were facing a death penalty trial at the U.S. military prison in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, over the attacks that killed 2,977 people. On Wednesday, they reached a pretrial agreement to plead guilty in exchange for life sentences at most. But Austin wrote in an order released last night that "in light of the significance of the decision," he had decided that the authority to make a decision on accepting the plea agreements was his and nullified that deal, AP reports.

Members phkrause Posted January 7 Author Members Posted January 7 US transfers 11 Guantanamo detainees to Yemen after more than two decades without charge The Pentagon said Monday it transferred 11 Yemeni men to Oman this week after holding them for more than two decades without charge at the U.S. naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Read more. Why this matters: The transfer was the latest and biggest push by the Biden administration in its final weeks to clear Guantanamo of the last remaining detainees there who were never charged with a crime. The release brings the total number of men detained at Guantanamo to 15. The transfer announced Monday leaves six never-charged men still being held at Guantanamo, two convicted and sentenced inmates, and seven others charged with the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, and 2002 bombings in Bali, Indonesia. That’s the fewest since 2002, when President George W. Bush’s administration turned Guantanamo into a detention site for the mostly Muslim men taken into custody around the world in what the U.S. called its “war on terror.” RELATED COVERAGE ➤ Trump’s sentencing still on for Friday after judge rebuffs his push for a delay while he appeals Macron declares Trump has ‘solid ally’ in France, urges realism from Ukraine over territory Canada’s Liberals look for a new prime minister as Trump threatens tariffs and an election looms Donald Trump Jr. to visit Greenland as his father muses anew about the US taking control of it Trump promises to replace national archivist after the agency’s role in documents case against him Watch: Vice President Kamala Harris oversees the certification of the election of Donald Trump Biden will honor tribal requests by designating 2 new national monuments in California New Orleans attack came as the FBI was facing political heat and bracing for a transition Virginia’s statehouse control hinges on 3 key special elections Last North Carolina legislative races get finalized, confirming GOP loss of veto-proof control Judge largely blocks Tennessee’s porn site age verification law as other states enforce theirs Quote phkrause How little do we enter into sympathy with Christ on that which should be the strongest bond of union between us and Him,—compassion for depraved, guilty, suffering souls, dead in trespasses and sins!

Members phkrause Posted February 5 Author Members Posted February 5 Guantanamo Bay The Trump administration has started to send migrants to Guantanamo Bay despite questions about the plan's legality. The prison in Cuba opened in 2002 as a holding center for suspects taken off battlefields in South Asia, the Middle East and elsewhere who were treated outside the legal system and often held for years without trial. On Tuesday, a military flight carrying around 10 migrants with criminal records landed in Guantanamo, US officials said. The move stems from President Trump's memorandum directing the federal government to prepare the prison site at the US Naval base to house tens of thousands of migrants.
