Thank you Joe Biden!
Three terrorists accused of helping orchestrate the 9/11 attacks will avoid the death penalty after the Pentagon’s challenge to their sweetheart plea deal was smacked down by a military appeals court judge.
The ruling capped off a five-month, whiplash-inducing saga and came as a blow to victims’ families who have been holding out hope for justice for nearly a quarter-century.
“We are 100 percent against the plea deal. The whole process has been a disaster,” said Sally Regenhard, whose firefighter son, Christian, was killed responding to the attacks in NYC told The Post.
Regenhard, a member of 9/11 Parents and Families of Firefighters and World Trade Center victims, added she felt the terrorists “should have been tried at the scene of the crime” in Manhattan federal court, just blocks from Ground Zero.
Under the deal — first reported on by The Post July 31 — Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid Bin Attash and Mustafa al-Hawsawi agreed to plead guilty to war crimes in exchange for the death penalty being taken off the table.
All three men have been held at the Guantanamo Bay US military prison since 2003.
