Plea Negotiations Raise Concerns Over Death Penalty for 9/11 Terrorist Suspects

The alleged mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and several other defendants could potentially avoid the death penalty through plea agreements being considered, according to a letter sent by the Pentagon and FBI to families of the victims. The case has been delayed due to legal issues surrounding the interrogation methods used on the defendants while in CIA custody. The letter asks for the families' input on a potential plea agreement, but some family members remain skeptical and have little hope in the process.
