Canadian-born prisoner Omar Khadr, has pleaded guilty to five terrorism charges in a Guantanamo Bay tribunal.



Khadr's lawyers have argued in the past that his family forced him into the war as a child.



His trial began in August but was delayed when his lawyer fell ill.



The 24-year-old was captured in Afghanistan in 2002 when he was 15.



Khadr is the youngest detainee at Guantanamo.
