Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

A federal appeals court has intervened to temporarily block Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's guilty plea deal related to the 9/11 attacks, which had aimed to avoid the death penalty. The Biden administration's last-minute efforts were successful in delaying the plea, pending further consideration of the legal arguments. This decision marks a significant setback in a long-running military prosecution. Relatives of 9/11 victims expressed frustration and division over the plea agreement, which could have provided finality in the two-decade-old case.
