The United States Supreme Court on Monday denied an appeal from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the accused mastermind behind the 9/11 terror attacks. The high court's decision leaves in place the revocation of plea agreements that had been reached with military prosecutors and subsequently undone by the Biden administration.
The rejected plea deals would have spared Mohammed and two co-defendants from the death penalty. With the Supreme Court declining to intervene, the death penalty remains a potential outcome for the accused 9/11 plotters as legal proceedings continue.
