Fox News
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's effort to throw out plea deals for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two others defendants was countermanded by a military court of appeals.
The military appeals court released its ruling Monday night, according to the U.S. official, who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Military prosecutors and defense attorneys for Mohammed, the accused mastermind of the attacks, and two co-defendants reached the plea agreements after two years of government-approved negotiations. The deals were announced late last summer.
