U.S. Appeals Court Overturns Plea Deals for 9/11 Plotters
In a significant legal ruling, a divided U.S. appeals court has canceled plea deals involving the accused masterminds of the September 11 attacks, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. The court upheld that former Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had the authority to revoke these agreements. The decision paves the way for the potential imposition of the death penalty for those implicated. This development has drawn attention from various political figures and has reignited discussions surrounding justice for the 9/11 victims.
