Canadian Abdullah Khadr will face an extradition hearing that
could force him to return to the U.S. to face terrorism charges.
A ruling today in Ontario's Superior Court gave the U.S. leave
to seek extradition.
"Today the attorney general of Canada commenced the
extradition process against Abdullah Khadr," prosecutor
Howard Piafsky said following a court appearance.
"We will be seeking his extradition on behalf of our treaty
partner, the United States of America."
Piafsky presented documents to the court on Thursday in
which Federal Justice Minister Vic Toews authorized
prosecutors to begin the extradition process.
The process is set to start on March 30, when prosecutors
meet to discuss a date for the extradition hearing.
The documents also cite five crimes under the Criminal Code
that correspond to the U.S. charges -- including providing
property to benefit a terrorist group.

Khadr, 24, has been in jail since December, when he was
arrested on a U.S. warrant.
In February, the U.S. formally requested extradition of Khadr,
who was indicted in Boston on charges he supplied al Qaeda
with weapons and plotted to kill American soldiers in
Afghanistan.The indictment said Khadr bought the weapons
at the request of his father, Egyptian-born Canadian Ahmed
Said Khadr, an accused al Qaeda financier killed by Pakistani
forces in 2003.
Outside court, Khadr's family struggled with the news that
the Canadian government was seeking his extradition.
"We came to Canada for justice.
We came to Canada 30 years ago for freedom
and justice, and that's what we expect,''
said Khadr's mother, Maha Elsamnah.
"We know God is with us and he will defend
our son."
...
No actually Maha Elsamnah, you all came to exploit us
and use ourcompassionate nature...
but we have seen the terrorist in their true actions
beheading, torturing and murdering innocents who
have gone there to establish food and
essentials for these people.

Khadr admits attending an al Qaeda training camp in
Afghanistan when he was 13, but denies being a terrorist.
Each of the five Khadr siblings, all of whom are Canadian
citizens, has at one time or another been separately
accused or investigated for alleged links to terrorism.
Omar Khadr, 19, is the only Canadian held at the
Guantanamo Bay detention camp.
He has been there since he was 16.
He is charged with aiding al Qaeda and murdering a U.S.
medic in Afghanistan in July 2002.
He faces a special military tribunal system for alleged
terrorists that has been widely attacked as unfair.
The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, an
international human rights group, has taken up his case
with the aim of getting his military trial suspended.
