AI Summary:
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was due to enter his plea on Friday in a military court in Guantanamo, the US naval base in Cuba. But the District of Columbia federal appeals court ruled on Thursday that this could not happen. The ruling comes after months of unsuccessful attempts from the Biden administration to block the plea deal. Mohammed’s only child, the paramedic Keith Fairben, died in the attacks. “I thought that we were going to have some — I don’t like ‘closure’ — but some forward motion, something definite,” he said. The district of Columbia federal appeals court has scheduled the next steps for 22 January.
