Canada to pay former Guantanamo prisoner Omar Khadr $10.5M

The Canadian government is set to compensate former Guantanamo prisoner Omar Khadr $10.5 million. Khadr, who was dubbed as a "child soldier," pleaded guilty to killing a U.S. soldier in Afghanistan in 2010. The government later concluded that Canadian-born Khadr was interrogated under "oppressive circumstances." Khadr was 15 years old when he was captured in a suspect al-Qaida compound in Afghanistan. Khadr was charged with throwing a grenade that killed U.S. Army Sgt. First Class Christopher Speer, spending 10 years in Guantanamo Bay.
