The decision of a committee from the Federal Court of Appeal in Washington, DC, acknowledges an attempt to end more than two decades of the military claim that legal and logistical problems are attended. It indicates that there will be a quick end to the long struggle by the US military administrations to bring it to justice, the man accused of planning one of the most bloody attacks ever in the United States.
The deal was negotiated for two years and approved by the military prosecutors and the Pentagon official in the Gulf of Guantanamo, Cuba, a year ago, without the conditional release of Muhammad and two of the defendants.

Mohamed is accused of developing and directing the plot to crash into the kidnapped aircraft at the World Trade and Pentagon Center. Another of the kidnapped planes flew into a field in Pennsylvania.
It was also possible that men were obligated to answer any remaining questions among the families of the victims about the attacks.
But then Lloyd Austin’s Defense Minister denied the deal, saying that a decision on the death penalty in an attack like the September 11 grave should not be taken by the Minister of Defense only.
The defendants’ lawyers argued that the agreement was already valid legally and that Austin, who served during the era of President Joe Biden, acted after it was too late to try to expel him. A military judge in Guantanamo and the Military Appeal Committee agreed with the defense lawyer.
However, with a 2-1 vote, the American Court of Appeal of the Colombia Provincial District found Austin’s behavior within his authority and a mistake in the rule of the military judge.
The committee had laid the agreement earlier while looking at the appeal, which was submitted by the Biden administration for the first time and then continued during the era of President Donald Trump.
“After the authority to work properly, the Secretary decided that” the American families and the public deserve the opportunity to see the trials of the military committee that was implemented. “Judges Patricia Melit and Nomie Rao wrote.
Millite was appointing President Barack Obama while Rao was appointed by Trump.
In opposition, Judge Robert Wilkins, one of Obama’s eyes, wrote, “The government has not been within a tendency of a country to clearly and undoubtedly that the military judge made a mistake.”
