Khadr lawyer wants to house client in Edmonton

Source: CBC News

The lawyer for Omar Khadr told CBC News on Wednesday he's willing to do whatever it takes — including have his client live with him in Edmonton — to get Khadr out of detainment in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Dennis Edney has represented Khadr, who was born in Toronto, since 2002, when Khadr was put behind bars and accused of throwing a hand grenade that killed an American soldier in Afghanistan. Khadr, who is now 23, was 15 years old at the time.

Since then, Khadr has been held in captivity at a U.S. naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Edney is travelling to Cuba on Thursday and will try to negotiate conditions of Khadr's release.
