Washington: The Biden administration has taken a big decision on Tuesday regarding the 9/11 attacks in America. Let us tell you that the Biden administration has requested the Federal Appellate Court to stop the process of settlement with 9/11 attack mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Because if this agreement had been reached, Mohammed would have escaped the threat of death penalty. The U.S. Justice Department said in an affidavit filed in a federal appellate court in the District of Columbia that the government would suffer irreparable harm if Mohammed and two co-defendants’ guilty pleas to the September 11, 2001 attacks were accepted.
The affidavit said the government will not be given the opportunity of a public hearing and its request for death penalty against “three persons who are accused of the heinous act of mass murder.” The defense department negotiated a settlement, but later rejected it. The defendants’ attorneys argue that the conversation was conducted legally and should be upheld.
