U.S. chained wounded Canadian teen to door: medic
Canadian captive Omar Khadr was hooded, crying and chained to a door outside his cell in Afghanistan around the time he turned 16, a former U.S. medic testified on Monday in the Guantanamo war crimes tribunal.
"We pulled off the hood that was over his head and I asked him what was ailing him, if there was some type of medical issue he might be having," the former medic testified by video link from an undisclosed location. "I then noted that he was crying."
Khadr seemed frustrated and "not very cordial," M said, adding, "I had never seen him like that before."
The medic said such treatment was common punishment for prisoners held at Bagram during the early part of the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan but that he did not know why Khadr was being disciplined. Report Continues
