Lawmakers Slam Biden-Harris Administration’s Plea Deal With Terrorists Responsible For 9/11 Attacks

U.S. lawmakers slammed the Biden-Harris administration on Wednesday after plea deals were reached with three of the Islamic terrorists who carried out the 9/11 attacks.

Prosecutors have entered into pretrial agreements with 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin ‘Attash, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi.

In a letter to the victims’ families, the Office of Military Commissions (OMC) said: “In exchange for the removal of the death penalty as a possible punishment, these three accused have agreed to plead guilty to all of the charged offenses, including the murder of the 2,976 people listed in the charge sheet.”

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) responded to the news by saying that the Biden-Harris administration’s move was “a revolting abdication of the government’s responsibility to defend America and provide justice.”

“The Biden-Harris Administration’s weakness in the face of sworn enemies of the American people apparently knows no bounds,” McConnell said. “The only thing worse than negotiating with terrorists is negotiating with them after they are in custody. The families of their victims and the American people deserve real justice. In the same week that Israel eliminated some of Iran’s most trusted terrorist proxies, the Administration’s decision to spare these mass-murderers from the death penalty is an especially bitter pill.”

“Meanwhile, the Biden-Harris Administration still seeks to release other Guantanamo terrorists back into the world,” he concluded. “The Administration’s cowardice in the face of terror is a national disgrace.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) posted on social media: “The Biden-Harris Administration has done the unthinkable: they’ve agreed to a plea deal with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the September 11th attacks, and two of his accomplices.”

“23 years ago, America watched in horror as thousands of innocent Americans died,” he continued. “America mourned for weeks afterwards as first responders sifted through the ashes at Ground Zero, at the Pentagon, and at the crash site in Shanksville. For more than two decades, the families of those murdered by these terrorists have waited for justice. This plea deal is a slap in the face of those families. They deserved better from the Biden-Harris Administration.”

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) have not issued statements condemning the plea agreements.

Major U.S. Airlines Halt Flights To Israel

United Airlines and Delta are canceling flights to Israel amid growing tensions in the Middle East after Israel killed two top terrorist leaders this week in separate strikes.

“Beginning with this evening’s flight from Newark Liberty to Tel Aviv, we are suspending for security reasons our daily Tel Aviv service as we evaluate our next steps,” a United spokesperson said in a statement on Wednesday. “We continue to closely monitor the situation and will make decisions on resuming service with a focus on the safety of our customers and crews.”

Delta Air Lines said that it is canceling flights from New York to Tel Aviv through at least Friday in light of recent events.

“Delta flights betweenNew York-JFK and Tel Aviv will be paused through Friday, Aug. 2, due to ongoing conflict in the region. Sales of flights for DL234 on Jul. 31 and Aug. 1, and DL235 on Aug. 1 and Aug. 2. are suspended,” Delta Air Lines said in a statement. “Customers impacted by the schedule change will receive notifications via the Fly Delta app and contact information listed in their reservation.”

The statements come after Ismail Haniyeh, the top leader of Hamas, was killed in a Tuesday night strike inside of Iran that Israel is believed to be behind.

Haniyeh’s death comes after Hamas, an Iranian-backed terrorist group, launched an unprecedented terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, which resulted in more than 1,200 people being murdered. Haniyeh celebrated his organization’s terrorist attack against Israel on and publicly called for more attacks.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has reportedly ordered a direct strike on Israel in retaliation for Haniyeh’s death.

Earlier in the day on Tuesday, Israel killed Fuad Shukr, Hezbollah’s “most senior military commander and the head of its Strategic Unit,” according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

Shukr was Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah’s “right-hand man” and was his “adviser for planning and directing wartime operations.”
