The Defence Secretary, United States of  America, Lyold Austin on August 3, 2024, press rescinded a plea deal reached with three plotters of the September 11, 2001 attacks on America. This information was contained in a memo released on August 3. The plotters were; Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid Bin Attash, and Mustafa – Al – Hwsawi.In the memo addressed to Susan Esacllier, the authority running milltary courts at Guantanamo Bay, he stated that she should withdraw her authority in the cases. “Responsibility for such a decision should rest with me” he stated. Susan Esacllier had signed a pretrial agreement with the plotters on Wednesday that involved exchange of guilty pleas for life imprisonment.However, in revoking this plea, Mr Lyold assumes oversight of the case, reinforcing it as a death penalty case and this has brought relief of families of victims who were angry over the case.“Effective immediately, in the exercise of my authority, I hereby withdraw from the three pretrial agreements that you signed on July 31, 2024.” the memo stated.
