US Supreme Court Rejects Plea Deal Appeal for Accused 9/11 Mastermind

The highest court in the United States refused to revive Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's plea agreement, which had been cancelled by the Biden administration.

The US Supreme Court has rejected a petition by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the accused mastermind of the September 11 attacks, seeking to revive a plea agreement reached on his behalf, CBS News and The Jerusalem Post reported.

The plea deal, originally agreed upon between Mohammed and military prosecutors, was subsequently revoked by the Biden administration. Mohammed remains the most prominent inmate at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, established in 2002 under then-president George W. Bush to hold foreign terrorism suspects following the attacks.

Further details regarding the continuation of legal proceedings in the case have not yet been released.
