Description
Omar Khadr, known as the 'Child Soldier of Guantanamo Bay', is accused of killing a US soldier and receiving training from al-Qaeda.
Transferred to the detention camp in Cuba in 2002, aged 15, he is to be the first detainee tried under the Obama military commission.
If convicted, he could be sentenced to life in prison. But his defence lawyers are trying to prove that none of the evidence in the case can be used because it was tainted.
