Fox News
Groups representing firefighters and families of the victims of the 9/11 attacks are speaking out against a plea deal reached by the Department of Defense.
"In exchange for removal of the death penalty as a possible punishment, these three Accused have agreed to plead guilty to all of the charged offenses, including the murder of the 2,976 people listed in the charge sheet," Rear Adm. Aaron Rugh, the chief prosecutor for the Office of Military Commissions, wrote in a letter sent yesterday to families of victims of the 9/11 attacks, according to the New York Post. Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.
"On behalf of New York City firefighters, especially the survivors of the September 11th terrorist attack who are living with the illnesses and injuries that were inflicted upon us that day, we are disgusted and disappointed that these three terrorists were given a plea deal and allowed to escape the ultimate justice while each month three more heroes from the FDNY are dying from World Trade Center illnesses," FDNY Uniformed Firefighters Association President Andrew Ansbro said in a statement Thursday.
