This decision comes three months after Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin revoked the plea deals initially granted to Mohammed and two alleged accomplices by the Office of Military Commissions in July.
The order, issued by Air Force Col. and Judge Matthew McCall at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, was first reported by the Associated Press and has not yet been made public. This is a developing story. Check back for further updates.
