 SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - David Hicks, the first Guantanamo Bay detainee to stand trial for terrorism, will not fight strict monitoring conditions likely to be imposed on his release from an Australian jail later this year, his lawyer said Monday.
Hicks, who was tried by a U.S. military commission, returned to Australia on Sunday after a plea deal with U.S. prosecutors that ended more than five years detention at the American military camp in Cuba.
The 31-year-old former kangaroo skinner pleaded guilty in March to providing material support to al-Qaida, including attending terrorist training camps in Afghanistan. Prosecutors said he sought to fight on the side of the Taliban against U.S.-backed forces who invaded the country after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
