GUANTANAMO BAY – Military-Run hearings for Khalid Mohammed and two co-defendants at Guantanamo Bay faced upheaval Wednesday after Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin threw out a plea deal that would have spared them the death penalty.

Defense attorneys argue the deal remains valid and have suspended participation in pre-trial hearings pending legal challenges.

The plea deal and Austin’s decision have sparked strong reactions, including criticism from Republicans and Sept. 11 victims’ families.
