Breaking Updates US reaches plea deal with alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed The U.S. has reached a plea deal with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two other defendants involved in the 9/11 attacks, which removes the death penalty from consideration. This agreement, finalized after 27 months of negotiations, requires Mohammed, Walid Bin ‘Attash, and Mustafa al Hawsawi to plead guilty to all charges, including the murder of the 2,976 victims. The plea deal aims to expedite a resolution in a case that has been plagued by legal and procedural delays since Mohammed’s capture in 2003. The deal avoids a lengthy death penalty trial, which would have been complicated by issues related to the use of torture during interrogation. The defendants are expected to enter their guilty pleas at a hearing possibly scheduled for next week. Sentencing hearings will follow, allowing victims' families to provide impact statements and ask questions about the attacks. The process will not conclude until summer 2025 at the earliest. Some victims' families have expressed strong opposition to the plea deal, concerned it might obscure further details about Saudi Arabia's possible involvement in the attacks. They argue that critical information could remain hidden, undermining their quest for full accountability. Additionally, the timing of the deal has raised suspicions among the families, especially as it coincides with significant developments in their litigation against Saudi Arabia.

Gershkovich, arrested in March 2023 on espionage charges that both he and U.S. officials deny, was sentenced to 16 years in a high-security penal colony following a closed-door trial. Whelan, who holds multiple citizenships and was arrested in December 2018 under similar charges, was convicted in June 2020 and sentenced to 16 years, having already served five years of his sentence. The U.S. administrations under both President Biden and former President Trump have consistently rejected the espionage accusations against Gershkovich and Whelan. The agreement marks a significant diplomatic breakthrough between the two nations, facilitating the return of these individuals to their home country after enduring lengthy and contentious legal battles in Russia.
