- A U.S. military appeals court has ruled that the plea agreements related to the 9/11 attacks can move forward.
- This decision follows Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's earlier attempts to invalidate these agreements.
- In August, Austin rescinded the deals made with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two others, claiming surprise at their existence.
- A military judge previously stated that Austin's action came too late, affirming the plea deals’ validity.
- Separately, the Pentagon reported the repatriation of Ridah Bin Saleh Al-Yazidi, a long-held detainee who was returned to Tunisia.
