Supreme Court rejects Khalid Sheikh Mohammed plea deal appeal
Original: Supreme Court rejects bid by 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to revive controversial plea deal
The US Supreme Court has declined to revive a controversial plea deal for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the September 11, 2001 attacks. The decision keeps in limbo the long-running case against the Guantanamo Bay detainee, whose agreement to plead guilty in exchange for avoiding the death penalty had drawn fierce criticism and legal challenges.
Why now: The Supreme Court's refusal resolves a major question in one of America's longest-running terrorism cases just as the 9/11 anniversary season draws attention to unresolved justice for victims' families.
