Canadian teenager cries in Guantanamo interrogation video
A sobbing Canadian teenager begged for help as he was questioned in the first video glimpse of interrogations at the US "war on terror" prison at Guantanamo Bay released Tuesday. The video was posted online by attorneys for terror suspect Omar Khadr, who is shown being questioned at the prison by Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) agents in February, 2003. Khadr is the youngest detainee at Guantanamo, accused of killing a US soldier in a firefight in Afghanistan. He has been held at the US naval facility in eastern Cuba since his arrest in 2002, when he was 15 years old, and faces a US military commission on terrorism charges in October. The footage covers seven and a half hours of questioning over four days. An eight-minute video was initially posted on the Internet and a complete version on five DVDs was issued later on Tuesday by Khadr's lawyers, following a Canadian court order. The video shows no beating or physical abuse of Khadr. (AFP)
