WASHINGTON -- Prosecutors have initiated discussions on a potential plea agreement to resolve the long-stalled case of five men held at the Guantanamo Bay detention center who have been charged with planning and providing assistance for the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The discussions are a significant development in a case that has been mired in pre-trial litigation at the U.S. base in Cuba for nearly a decade.
Emails sent to families who receive notices from the Defense Victim Outreach program say that any agreement would require defendants to disclose details about their role in the plot of the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
