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.

The Biden administration offered plea deals last year to alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and co-conspirators Walid Bin Attash and Mustafa al-Hawsawi. All three men have been held at Guantanamo Bay since 2003.

President Joe Biden’s administration is pushing to resolve as many of the cases as possible, on its terms, before Donald Trump takes office Jan. 20.

The ruling reinstates plea agreements under which the three men would admit guilt in connection with the September 11, 2001, Al-Qaeda attacks.

The U.S. has transferred 11 Guantanamo detainee to Oman, leaving 15 at Cuba facility in the largest detainee transfer to take place during the Biden administration.

The U.S. government earlier this year entered into the plea agreements with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two other 9/11 suspects, sparing them the death penalty.

Eleven Yemeni detainees at Guantanamo Bay have been transferred to Oman, marking yet another detainee transfer from the military prison in the final days of the Biden administration.

The Biden administration has asked a federal appeals court to block a plea agreement for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two co-defendants in the Sept. attacks. It comes days before the accused 9/11 mastermind's scheduled guilty plea in an agreement that would spare him the death penalty.

Thanks to Biden admin bungling, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed may get off with no death penalty. Joe can’t help hurting his country even as he leaves.

In the Biden administration’s latest filing, Brian Fletcher, the Justice Department’s principal deputy solicitor general, argued that the case involving the three 9/11 plotters is of “ unique

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Mustafa al Hawsaw, and Walid bin Attash can plead guilty to the terrorist attack and avoid the death penalty.
