9/11 guilty pleas delayed after US government objects
GUANTANAMO BAY — The US government has succeeded in temporarily blocking the accused mastermind of the 9/11 terror attacks from pleading guilty amid a dispute over the terms of a pre-trial agreement.Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two co-defendants reached deals last summer to plead guilty to all charges in exchange for not facing a death penalty trial.In a filing with a federal appeals court, the government argued that it and the American people would be irreparably harmed if the pleas were accepted.A three-judge panel said they needed more time to consider the case and put the proceedings on hold. They stressed that the delay "should not be construed in any way as a ruling on the merits" of the case.It comes after a military judge and appeals panel rejected a previous move by...
