Murder charge filed against Canadian in Guantanamo

The U.S. military filed a murder charge Friday against Omar Khadr, who is the only Canadian
imprisoned in the Guantanamo Bay prison and has been there for more than four years.

Khadr, who is now 20 but has been imprisoned since he was 15, is among the first three
prisoners to face charges as the military begins a new set of Guantanamo trials after the original
ones were halted by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2006.
