Classified Photographs Suggest Omar Khadr May Be Innocent
---------------------------------------------------------



The Toronto Star has published a series of classified photographs that
raise new questions about whether the United States is holding an
innocent Canadian citizen at Guantanamo. Omar Khadr is accused of
throwing a grenade that fatally wounded a US soldier in Afghanistan in
2002. At the time of the incident, Khadr was fifteen years old. But the
just-published photographs appear to tell a different story. Khadr’s
attorneys say the photographs show that the boy was buried face down
under rubble, blinded by shrapnel and crippled, at the time the Pentagon
alleges he threw the grenade.
