Boyle was previously married to the sister of Omar Khadr, a Canadian man who spent 10 years at Guantanamo Bay after being captured in 2002 in a firefight at an al-Qaida compound in Afghanistan.  He was 16 at the time.  What the story does not say is that Omar Khadr pleaded guilty to murdering U.S. Army Sergeant First Class Christopher Speer and to other charges.  Khadr was paroled to Canada in 2013, and later received a $10.5 million settlement from the Canadian government, because a Canadian court judge ruled that his Charter rights were violated when questioned by Canadian military investigators at Guantanamo Bay.  Khadr’s father was born and raised in Afghanistan and was affiliated with Al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations.   One has to wonder why Boyle, with close ties to the Khadr family, and his American born wife went to Afghanistan.  U.S. authorities may be wondering the same thing which may be why Boyle refused to get on the U.S. transport plane.
