| Canadian Gitmo inmate to challenge detention |
| 2008-10-31 |
| Canadian Omar Khadr, the last westerner held at Guantanamo, will challenge his detention and upcoming trial before a federal judge on Thursday, on grounds it violates international and United States laws, his lawyers said. Khadr, 21, was arrested in Afghanistan in 2002, and charged with killing a US soldier with a hand grenade. His trial by a special military tribunal is to start on November 10 -- it was delayed one month due to elections in Canada and the US. |
