Accused of providing support and training to the terrorists who carried out the attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and Shanksville on September 11, 2001, these defendants have elicited outrage from the families of the nearly 3,000 victims who lost their lives that tragic day.

Jim Smith, a retired police officer and husband of the only female officer, Moira Smith, who perished on 9/11, expressed his profound disappointment, stating, “I feel like I was kicked.” Similar sentiments were shared by Daniel D’Allara, whose twin brother, an NYPD officer, was also killed in the attacks. D’Allara remarked, “They committed the worst crime in the history of our country, they should receive the highest penalty.”

The prisoners’ demands reportedly included assurances against solitary confinement, the right to eat and pray with other inmates in Guantánamo Bay, and a program for alleged health ailments resulting from CIA interrogations prior to their transfer to Guantánamo Bay in 2006.

These three men, along with Ali Abdul Aziz Ali and Ramzi Bin al Shibh, were jointly charged in 2008 and again in 2012 in connection with their purported roles in the attacks, as per the DOD.

The sentencing for the accused is scheduled to take place in Guantánamo Bay on August 5th.
