Los presuntos conspiradores del 11/9 pactan para evitar la pena capital

By Jordi Bou

August 1, 2024 - El hombre acusado de orquestar los ataques del 11 de septiembre de 2001, y dos de sus coacusados, se librarán de la pena de muerte declarándose culpables en unpacto que busca poner fin a años de batallas legales sobre su detención.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid bin Attash and Mustafa al-Hawsawi have been held at the U.S. Navy base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for years without going to trial.

Details of the deal have not been announced, but U.S. news outlets say the men will plead guilty in exchange for the prosecution agreeing not to seek the death penalty.

The proceedings have been marred in legal and ethical controversy over the length of the defendants’ custody without trial and instances of torture.

The U.S. Senate has published reports that include information on waterboarding of some prisoners, including Mohammed.

The announcement marks a turning point in the prosecution of the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Planes that departed Boston Logan, Dulles and Newark international airports were hijacked and later crashed into the World Trade Center, Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania, killing nearly 3,000 people
