Omar Khadr Freed on Bail in Canada

Omar Khadr, a Canadian who was once the youngest prisoner held on terror charges at Guantanamo Bay, was released on bail from an Alberta prison Thursday while he appeals a murder conviction by a U.S. military tribunal. A judge in an Alberta court ruled that Khadr, who was captured in Afghanistan when he was 15 and pleaded guilty to killing a U.S. soldier, can be released on bail, denying an appeal by the Canadian government to keep him in custody. Khadr, who is now 28, was transferred to Alberta from a U.S. naval base prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba in 2012. He emerged from his lawyer's home Thursday evening to neighbors' cheers. Khadr told reporters, "I'm sorry for the pain that I might have caused the families of the victims. I can't change the past. All I can do is work on the present and the future."
