Three men accused of orchestrating the 9/11 attacks—Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin Attash, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al-Hawsawi—have reached a pre-trial agreement to plead guilty in exchange for the prosecution not seeking the death penalty.

Held for years at Guantanamo Bay, the men are charged with various offenses, including murder and terrorism.

The plea deal, detailed in a letter to victims' families, aims to expedite justice despite controversy over bypassing a trial.

The decision has sparked mixed reactions, with some victims' families and politicians condemning it. The Biden administration was reportedly not involved in the negotiations.
