Accused 9/11 Plotters Avoid Death Penalty, Stirs Up Controversy


A military judge upheld a plea deal sparing three alleged 9/11 plotters from execution.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid Bin Attash, and Mustafa al-Hawsawi will plead guilty to war crimes and remain in prison for life.

Families of victims called the process a disaster.

They believe the terrorists should have faced justice in New York near Ground Zero.

The decision has angered many who see the death penalty as the only fitting punishment for their crimes.

New York Post reports:

Three terrorists accused of helping orchestrate the 9/11 attacks will avoid the death penalty after the Pentagon’s challenge to their sweetheart plea deal was smacked down by a military appeals court judge.

The ruling capped off a five-month, whiplash-inducing saga and came as a blow to victims’ families who have been holding out hope for justice for nearly a quarter-century.

“We are 100 percent against the plea deal. The whole process has been a disaster,” said Sally Regenhard, whose firefighter son, Christian, was killed responding to the attacks in NYC told The Post.

Regenhard, a member of 9/11 Parents and Families of Firefighters and World Trade Center victims, added she felt the terrorists “should have been tried at the scene of the crime” in Manhattan federal court, just blocks from Ground Zero.

Under the deal — first reported on by The Post July 31 — Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid Bin Attash and Mustafa al-Hawsawi agreed to plead guilty to war crimes in exchange for the death penalty being taken off the table.

All three men have been held at the Guantanamo Bay US military prison since 2003.

The deal would ensure they live out their lives behind bars but spares them the ultimate punishment.

The ruling enraged victims’ loved ones when news broke over the summer, who felt death was the only just punishment for perpetrating the worst terror attack in US history.

Wow, 21 years they’ve been in Gitmo.

Now, if these guys were arrested I have a question.

Why weren’t the guys documenting the event also kept in prison for 20+ years?

Did you hear about that?

There was a group of guys sent to New York to “document the event”.

Think about that for one second.

How could they document a surprise attack unless they knew what was coming?

Also, LOOK at the van these people were in.

Why does it have a painting of an airplane flying into the World Trade Center?

But that’s just a crazy conspiracy, right?

Let’s see what Google says about it:

Well, if Google says it’s a just a mean “conspiracy theory”, I guess we shouldn’t question the narrative.

Also, please ignore the “art project” that was held in the same building:

And is it normal for nearby cars to “toast” if a building crashes?

Reminds me of the fires in Hawaii.

I have a feeling we weren’t told the whole story about what actually happened on 9/11 in New York City.
