Summary
The Supreme Court on Monday denied petitions from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Mustafa al-Hawsawi and Walid bin Attash, accused plotters of the September 11 attacks, seeking to restore 2024 plea agreements that would have spared them the death penalty. The deals were revoked by the Pentagon. The court gave no explanation; Justice Brett Kavanaugh recused himself. The men face a military trial, keeping the death penalty possible.
