It will be painful news for Tabitha Speer today when she learns that the man charged with killing her husband, in the words of his mother "never killed anybody".
Toronto-born Omar Khadr, the only western citizen detained by the U.S. military in Guantanamo prison, was charged with killing Sergeant 1st Class Christopher J. Speer in Afghanistan in 2002. The same grenade Khadr allegedly lobbed during the firefight that cost medic Speer his life, blinded Sgt. 1st Class and Special Forces Engineer Layne Morris in his right eye.
According to Canadian media reports today, Maha Elsamnah Khadr has finally "broken her silence". According to those same reports, Khadr "was only 15" when American soldiers captured him.
