Khadr pleads guilty to all charges

Lawyers reportedly discussed eight-year cap on total sentence

Omar Khadr has pleaded guilty to all five terrorism charges against him as part of a deal that would limit his sentence. Khadr admitted he conspired with al Qaeda and killed a U.S. soldier with a grenade in Afghanistan. The terms of his deal were not released, though lawyers have reportedly talked about him serving one more year in Guantanamo Bay, before spending another seven in Canada.
