US Charges Canadian Guantanamo detainee with murder, spying

The US military filed murder charges Tuesday against Omar Khadr, a Canadian who was a teenager when he was captured in Afghanistan and sent to the Guantanamo Bay prison in 2002.

Khadr, now 20, also was charged with providing support to terrorism, attempted murder, conspiracy and spying. He faces a military trial at the prison in eastern Cuba under rules adopted last year and first used to try Australian detainee David Hicks. Khadr is to be arraigned on the charges within 30 days, the military said. (AP)
