 SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - David Hicks, the first inmate at the Guantanamo Bay detention center to face a U.S. military tribunal, was flown back to his hometown in Australia on Sunday to serve out the remainder of his sentence in a maximum security prison cell.
The former Outback cowboy and kangaroo skinner pleaded guilty in March to providing material support to al-Qaida, including attending terrorist training camps in Afghanistan.
Under a plea deal, he was sentenced to nine months in prison — a fraction of the life term he could have received — and was allowed to return to Australia to serve out his term.
