9/11 mastermind and accomplices ‘spared death penalty under plea deals’

The alleged mastermind of the 9/11 terror attacks and two accomplices will plead guilty in exchange for being given life sentences rather than the death penalty, according to reports.
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid bin Attash and Mustafa al-Hawsawi were set to stand trial on conspiracy charges at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, after more than two decades in US custody. The case has been delayed for over ten years over claims that their torture by the CIA had undermined the evidence against them.
