It is highly anticipated that Omar Khadr is most likely returning to Canada after spending most of his jail time in US military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and he is now expected to spend rest of his sentence in Canada. A Canadian news agency reported two weeks ago that the Canadian government has denied any rumors about their attempts to bring Khadr home, but now it is learned that he has already been shifted from Guantanamo Bay and will reach Canada sometime around Saturday morning.
Reports from US Pentagon sources state that 26-year old Khadr was informed of the news of his return on Wednesday that he will now be shifted to a Canadian facility till the end of this weekend. There is no word about to where will the US military flight land or where Khadr will be imprisoned in Canadian. Though analysts have picked Sainte Anne-des-Plaines to be the most likely choice as it is the best maximum-security prison of the country and prisoners convicted of terrorism are usually placed in that facility.
Khadr was one of the youngest prisoners who ever spent time in Guantanamo, since he was shot and arrested in Afghanistan in 2002. He was 15-years-old at the time of his capture. He was blamed to have killed US Sgt. Christopher Speer.
Khadr was first interrogated by the US military tribunal in October 2010, where he pleaded guilty to five war crimes, one of which was the “murder in the violation of war.” The tribunal gives him a 40-years sentence which was later cut down to 8 years only.
