The shared Federal Appeal Court threw a guilt agreement that would allow the accused “September 11” Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other compatriots to plead guilty of exchange for avoiding the death penalty, the US media report.
The judges in Washington rejected an agreement that would give Mohammed and other accused for life without parole, on a decision 2-1 on Friday.
Mohammed is accused of organizing and referring the attacks on September 11, 2001 in the United States, in which the planes were stolen into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, killed by almost 3,000. It was captured in 2003 and goes to Guantanamo Gulf, a US prison camp in Cuba.
According to the transaction, the victims of the victims on September 11 would be allowed to create questions from Mohammed, who were supposed to “answer their questions to the full and truthfully,” the lawyers said.
According to the BBC CBS News partner.
Those who objected to thought that the trial was the best way to justice and reveal more information about the attacks.
Fans saw it as the best hope for the answers and finally closed the painful case.
The guilt agreement was agreed over two years and approved by military prosecutors and senior Pentagon officials in Guantanama -Beay.
The pre -trial hearings have been going on for more than a decade, which are complicated by the questions, whether the torture of Mohammed and other defendants, if in the US, we, in custody, testify to the evidence.
After his arrest in Pakistan in 2003, Mohammed spent three years in secret prisons of the CIA known as “black monuments”, where he was subjected to imitation of drowning, or “water board”, 183 times, among other so -called “advanced interrogation methods”, which included deprivation.
Last July, Biden’s administration announced that she had made deals with Mohammed and three other compatriots.
But then the Defense Minister Lloid Austin canceled the agreement in two days, saying that he was the only body that could conclude such an agreement.
The military court ruled against Austin’s efforts in December, leaving the agreement to avoid the death penalty on the table.
On Friday, the Court of Appeal threw the transaction, saying that Austin acted within his power in December 2024.
“Correctly assuming the converse body, the secretary determined that” Families and the American public deserved opportunities to go through lawsuits in the military commission. “The secretary acted within his legal powers, and we abandoned his second-purpose court,” said Judge Patricia Milet.
Judge Robert Wilkins disagreed, saying that the government “did not enter the country, proving clearly and indisputably that the military judge was wrong.”
