The US Supreme Court rejected a petition by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the organizer of the September 11, 2001 attacks, and two of his accomplices to reinstate plea agreements. These agreements were reached with military prosecutors but were later annulled by the administration of President Joe Biden. Mohammed, an extremist of Kuwaiti origin linked to al-Qaeda, has been in custody for 23 years. The indictment against him includes 2977 counts and was prepared back in 2008, yet the trial has still not begun. The Supreme Court's decision leaves the case in limbo.
