Canadian at Gitmo faces trial or possible plea

None

A Canadian who has been in US custody since he was a teenager could see an end to eight years of legal limbo on Monday as his war crimes trial resumes amid talk of a possible last-minute plea deal to spare him a life sentence.

 

Omar Khadr, the last Westerner held at Guantanamo, has resisted a plea deal in the past, but his attorneys hope to secure an agreement this time given he faces a possible life sentence under a military tribunal system that they believe favors the prosecution despite changes adopted under President Barack Obama.
