‘Disgusting’ plea deal could be in works for 9/11 mastermind in Guantanamo Bay

A possible plea deal with five remaining al-Qaida terrorists locked up in Guantanamo Bay has some in the 9/11 community reeling just as the anniversary of the terror attack marked its 21st year.

“This is not justice for the 3,000 people who died that day and the many more who have since. This is a joke,” said Debra Burlingame, whose brother was one of the pilots killed on 9/11.

Burlingame, who is an attorney, has learned that the Biden administration could be negotiating potential plea deals to remove the death penalty against 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other alleged accomplices.
