Khalid Sheikh Mohammed could help 9/11 families in Saudi lawsuit if death penalty dropped: Letter
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, accused mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, might help the families of victims of those attacks with testimony in their civil lawsuit against the government of Saudi Arabia if the U.S. government abandons a bid to execute him via military tribunal, a court filing revealed.
A lawyer for the families said that the plaintiffs' legal team had "reached out [to KSM's lawyers] because obviously we want to do everything we can to document the Saudi involvement in 9/11." Lawyers for the victims' families, in a letter to the judge overseeing the case, said they had learned from Mohammed's lawyers that he is not willing to be deposed in that civil case "at the present time."
