Alleged mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed among trio to plead guilty to conspiracy in exchange for life sentence

Three men accused of being involved in the 9/11 terrorist attack - including the self-proclaimed mastermind of the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon - have agreed to plea deals at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, prosecutors said on Wednesday.

The Convening Authority for Military Commissions, Susan Escallier, has entered into pre-trial agreements with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin Attash, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al-Hawsawi, three of the co-accused in the 9/11 case," the Pentagon said in a short statement.
