Three terrorists accused of masterminding the September 11 terror attacks have struck a plea deal with prosecutors, sparing them from the death penalty. Khalid Shaikh Mohammad, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin Attash, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi were awaiting trial in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, when they reached an agreement with the Convening Authority for Military Commissions.
The defendants are accused of providing training, financial support, and other assistance to the 19 terrorists who carried out the attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, in 2001.
