Video of teen Gitmo inmate
16/5/08
Lawyers for the youngest detainee in the war on terror last night released a video of the tearful Canadian teenager being interrogated at Guantanamo Bay. Omar Khadr is shown being questioned by Canadian Security Intelligence Service agents in February 2003. It provides a first-ever glimpse into the secretive world of questioning enemy combatants at the US-run prison in Cuba. At one point, the then 16-year-old Khadr tells the CSIS agents he was tortured while at the US military detention centre at the Bagram air base in Afghanistan, where he was first detained after his arrest in 2002. He raises his orange shirt to show the wounds he sustained. The footage covers 7 1/2 hours of questioning over three days of the boy, the son of an alleged al-Qa’ida financier. A 10-minute tape was posted on the internet and a complete version was due to follow.
