Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin throws out plea deal with accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two co-defendants.

Defense, prosecution and judge all uncertain about when and how case will move forward.

Defense attorneys on Wednesday say they will challenge the legality of Austin ’s order and suspended their participation in hearings until those challenges are resolved.

Mohammed, Hawsawi , and Walid bin Attash would have entered guilty pleas in exchange for the government not seeking the death penalty against them.

Defense attorneys stressed Wednesday the agreement would have committed the accused to answer any lingering questions about the attack from family members of victims and others.

After Wednesday ’s tumultuous start, the hearing proceeded with the questioning of an FBI witness.
