BBC: An Australian former inmate of the US prison camp at Guantanamo Bay is now a free man after Australian police lifted strict controls on his actions.
David Hicks spent more than five years at Guantanamo Bay without a trial before admitting to charges of providing material support to al-Qaeda.
In return, he was allowed in May 2007 to serve out the last nine months of his sentence in an Australian prison.
Hicks, a convert to Islam, was captured by US troops in Afghanistan in 2001.
The former kangaroo wrangler was the first "enemy combatant" held at Guantanamo to be convicted by a US military commission. >>> | Sunday, December 21, 2008
