[CHIMO]

With just weeks until convicted war criminal Omar Khadr is eligible for transfer according to a Pentagon plea deal, Ottawa is sending mixed messages as to whether the Guantanamo detainee will return to Canada to serve the remainder of his sentence.

A spokesman for Public Safety Minister Vic Toews said Thursday the minister’s decision about the 25-year-old Guantanamo prisoner’s transfer to Canada will be made irrespective of the deal Khadr signed.
