Canada 'offers apology and pay' to former Guantanamo Bay prisoner

The Canadian government is going to apologise and give millions of dollars to a former Guantanamo Bay prisoner after the Supreme Court ruled in 2010 that officials had interrogated him under "oppressive circumstances", according to an official.

The official familiar with the deal said that Omar Khadr will receive 10.5milion Canadian dollars. The government and Khadr's lawyers negotiated the deal last month.
