Omar Khadr has pled guilty to war crimes charges at Guantanamo Bay Monday. This means he admits to throwing the grenade that killed a U.S. medic in Afghanistan in 2002. By pleading guilty, he is also avoiding a possible life-sentence. His plea agreement has not yet been disclosed. It is known that he will be able to transfer to a Canadian prison within one year.
