GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba — A smiling Omar Khadr wore a suit and tie Tuesday and greeted prospective jurors at the start of his trial, billed by his attorneys as the first war- crimes prosecution of a child soldier since World War II.
Khadr, the Toronto-born son of an alleged al-Qaeda financier, is the youngest prisoner at Guantanamo and the only remaining Westerner.
He was 15 when he allegedly hurled a grenade that killed a U.S. Delta Force soldier during a firefight in Afghanistan in 2002.
The trial will be closely watched as the first under President Barack Obama.
