Two days after a plea deal was reached for three men accused of plotting the 9/11 attacks, Lloyd Austin relieved the head of Guantanamo Bay's war court of her duties in the cases and withdrew their agreements.
The US defence secretary has revoked a plea deal which would have seen the men accused of plotting the 9/11 attacks avoid death sentences. On Wednesday, it was announced that prosecutors had reached a deal for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid bin Attash and Mustafa al-Hawsawi to plead guilty to conspiracy charges.
A year later, he confessed to masterminding the 9/11 attacks and multiple other terrorist incidents after being tortured during interrogations. The three were expected to formally enter their guilty pleas under the deal as soon as next week.
