Ottawa Told US Khadr Transfer 'Inappropriate'

WASHINGTON - Canada asked the United States not to send Omar Khadr to Guantanamo Bay in 2002 because he was only 15 years old and requested discussions with the Americans before they made any decisions.

In a diplomatic letter released Thursday, Canadian officials said there was "some ambiguity" about Khadr's role in a firefight that July, adding it would be "inappropriate" to transfer him from U.S. custody in Afghanistan to the prison camp in Cuba.
