Judges dismisses charges against Canadian Guantanamo detainee
A military judge at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base today dismissed charges against Canadian detainee Omar Khadr, saying the matter is outside the jurisdiction of the military tribunal system.
The stunning ruling by Army Colonel Peter Brownback came just minutes into Khadr’s arraignment, in which he faced charges he committed murder in violation of the law of war, attempted murder in violation of the law of war, conspiracy, providing material support for terrorism and spying.
