The Biden administration doubled down Thursday on its unusual court battle to derail a plea deal that the government itself had reached with accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
Defence lawyers described the attempts to throw out the agreement as the latest in two decades of fitful and negligent mishandling of the case by the US military and successive administrations.
The fight has put the Biden administration at odds with the US military officials it had appointed to oversee justice in al-Qaida's attacks on Sept 11, 2001, that killed nearly 3,000 people.
