|
Wed Aug 4, 2010 CBC News Abdullah Khadr, accused by the U.S. government of procuring weapons on behalf of al-Qaeda, is a free man after an Ontario court ordered his release Wednesday from a Toronto detention centre. Khadr, the elder brother of Omar, the only Canadian held at the U.S. government's detention centre in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, was originally held by Pakistani authorities before his arrest by RCMP at the request of U.S. authorities upon his return to Canada in 2005. He has been detained without bail since Dec. 23, 2005, while the courts dealt with the U.S. request to extradite him.
