Ex-detainee marries

THE first Guantánamo Bay detainee to be convicted under the US military commission system has married in a Christian wedding in Sydney.

Terry Hicks says his 34-year-old son, David, was married by a Uniting Church pastor in a chapel on Saturday to university student Aloysia Brooks.

Terry Hicks says his only son, an Australia-born Islam convert who was captured by the US-backed Northern Alliance in Afghanistan in late 2001, gave up his Muslim beliefs during his five-and-a-half years as a prisoner.
