A US military tribunal has sentenced a self-confessed Islamist militant to 40 years in jail on charges that include murdering a US soldier and conspiring to commit terrorist acts.
Canadian Omar Khadr pleaded guilty at Guantanamo Bay to the charges last week.
However, Khadr's plea deal limited his sentence to eight years.
Caught in 2002 at the age of 15, he is the fifth Guantanamo inmate to be convicted at the military tribunals.
