A terrorist is now free after serving only eight years of a 40-year sentence for killing a U.S. Delta Force medic in Afghanistan in 2002, thanks to a deal the Obama administration made with Canadian authorities.
Omar Khadr was 15 when he threw a grenade that killed Sgt. 1st class Christopher Speer. After a military court found Khadr guilty, the Justice Department reduced his sentence to eight years, to be served in a Canadian facility, according to The Washington Times.
Sgt. Lane Morris, who served alongside Speer and who lost an eye in the attack, told Fox News host Greta Van Susteren that the terrorist’s release “all started with the Obama administration” in a deal made “behind the prosecutor’s back.”
Khadr served “one [year] in Guantanamo, and one in Canada,” he added.
Morris told Van Susteren that the attack occurred when the U.S. soldiers were tracking Khadr’s father, another terrorist who “was bin Laden’s finance guy.”
Khadr and six of his companions “wanted to go out in a blaze of glory,” Morris said, and started lobbing grenades at the Americans. In addition to Speer, the terrorists also killed two Afghan interpreters.
