Over 2,000 family members and survivors of the Sept. 11, 2001, Terrorist Attack urged President Biden to oppose any plea agreement with five alleged terrorists behind the attack.
with five alleged Al Qaeda bigs behind the atrocity, including purported mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed .the Pentagon had sent letters to victims’ families informing them that plea deals are being considered for the five suspects, who have been held in the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba since 2006.
President Biden signed an executive order in 2021 ordering agencies to release additional information about the attacks to the public.“You are our President and we ask that you prioritize the interests of the victims of the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks over those of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed or other terrorists; that you not bow to the demands of any embarrassed government officials willing to sacrifice transparency,” Monday’s letter continued.
“I think that the most shameful thing about this is that the 9/11 community has been fighting not only Saudi Arabia for accountability, but we’ve been fighting our own government,” Eagleson, whose mother received the plea notification letter, told The Post Monday.
