TORONTO -- A former Guantanamo Bay prisoner in Canada was recovering Monday after a 19-hour shoulder operation at the University of Alberta Hospital, his lawyer said.
Omar Khadr underwent the complex procedure Friday to address wounds to his shoulder that he suffered in Afghanistan before his capture in 2002, said Dennis Edney, a lawyer who worked to secure his release from the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and allowed the former prisoner to live at his home in Canada after his release.
Edney said Khadr was in intensive care and it was not clear how long it would take the 30-year-old to recover
