US announced plea deal with three alleged terrorists of 9/11 attacks

The United States of America (US) announced a plea deal with three alleged terrorists of the 9/11 attacks including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM). KSM was referred to as the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks allegedly by America.

Mohammed Walid bin Attash, Mustafa al-Hawsawi, and KSM are the alleged terrorists. They would plead guilty in return for a life sentence rather than the death penalty. They are currently in Guantanamo jail. The US Pentagon has not released all the details of this plea deal.

Legitimate to the average American or legitimate to the government? I could totally see the government offering a plea deal so they can be released, spread more terror, and allow us to start more foreign wars. It's sadly what the government loves to do most.

Walid, Mustafa, and Khalid had to face trial in military court at the maximum-security facility. However, their cases have remained in legal disputes for years.

However, the 9/11 attacks happened on September 11, 2001, which claimed 3,000 lives in New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. Al-Qaeda conducted four coordinated terrorist suicide attacks in these areas. 19 terrorists belonging to Al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial airlines from East Coast to California.

Brett Eaglesoon is head of 9/11 Justice, a group that advocates for 9/11 survivors and victims’ families troubled. He said the families of 9/11 victims expressed deep trouble with the plea deal announced by the US with all three suspected terrorists.

Brett also called for greater transparency in the process and encouraged US authorities to look into the possible involvement of Saudi Arabia in the 9/11 attacks.

For many of us, this event still feels like yesterday. I would like to know how it is, this has been going on as long as it has? This happened in 2001. Some 23 years later and this is still being "tried"?

One of the victim’s family members, Terry Strada also expressed deep shock to hear about a plea deal today. This deal was giving prisoners in Guantanamo Bay what they wanted.

Terry lost her husband Tom in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. She is also the national chair of the advocacy group 9/11 Families United. She stated this was a victory for Khalid Sheikh Mohammad and the other two.

According to American media, prosecutors sent a plea deal in a letter to 9/11 victim’s families. However, the US Defence Department said specific terms and conditions of this plea deal are not available to the public.
