Attorneys argue that 9/11 survivors with potentially fatal illnesses are being left out of controversial plea deal talks.

Exclusive interview with attorneys for 9/11 victims reveals that thousands of survivors with potentially fatal illnesses were not included in controversial plea deal negotiations.

Troy Rosasco, a 9/11 attorney, stated to Planet Chronicle Digital that none of their clients have contacted them to say that the chief military prosecutor reached out to them for their opinion on the death penalty for the terrorists. Rosasco believes that this is unjust and unfair, and that the military prosecutor could have done a better job of reaching out to the entire health community, in addition to the families who lost loved ones on 9/11.

Numerous 9/11 victims, including many first responders from across the country who arrived in New York City to aid in the aftermath, have been diagnosed with various forms of cancer.

More New York Fire Department firefighters have died from 9/11-related illnesses than the number of people who died that day, according to Axios' report on Wednesday.

The Defense Department reversed its plea deal agreement with three of the Sept. 11 terrorists who are awaiting trial in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, last month.

In a brief memo, Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III reversed the deal that sparked controversy and removed the death penalty from the table.

A judge has still not signed off on Austin's reversal.

Dan Hansen, another 9/11 attorney, informed Planet Chronicle Digital that it is necessary to determine people's positions on this issue and that Secretary Austin's decision is supported.

Hansen and Rosasco, representing over 1,000 9/11 survivors enrolled in the World Trade Center Health Program, stated that many of their clients have been diagnosed with various types of cancer, including lung, prostate, breast, colorectal, and all cancers related to the parts of their bodies exposed to toxic dust, such as esophageal, mouth, nasal, and pharyngeal cancer.

"According to Hansen, the occurrence of these cancers is increasing with time, and they are not limited to elderly individuals in their 90s and 100s. Instead, these cancers are affecting people in their 50s and 60s, who are experiencing a range of unusual cancers that have been linked to the 9/11 attacks."

Rosaco stated that survivors have the right to be heard by the government because they are currently dealing with illnesses that may result in death.

As far as we're concerned, those are homicides, Hansen said.

The accused individuals involved in the plea deal are charged with providing financial support, training, and other assistance to the 19 terrorists who carried out the 9/11 attacks on passenger jets, resulting in the destruction of the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, on September 11, 2001.

Nearly 3,000 people were killed in the deadliest terror attack on U.S. soil.
