The organizers of the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States will not be able to escape the death penalty.
Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin has cancelled all previously concluded agreements with the three defendants.
More than 20 years have passed since the series of terrorist attacks, but the organizers have not yet been punished. Moreover, they tried to negotiate with the investigation, writes The New York Times .
The organizers were counting on life imprisonment instead of the death penalty. They managed to reach an agreement with the investigation.
But the public learned about it. There was a lot of discontent from ordinary Americans. Republican politicians also came out with criticism.
Things got to the point where the head of the Ministry of Defense intervened in the situation. He cancelled all agreements between the investigation and the accused.
At the same time, the House Oversight Committee launched an investigation.
Lawmakers want to figure out what role Joe Biden played in brokering a deal between the terrorist attack's organizers and investigators.
