USA v. Omar Khadr -- Stipulation of fact -- 2010-10-13

U.S. forces continued to instruct the cell members in the compound to stop shooting and come outside. Omar Khadr understood the request from U.S. forces as a request to surrender. Omar Khadr and the other occupants in the compound decided to fight the U.S. forces rather than surrender or otherwise exit the compound peacefully. Omar Khadr and the others made a pact that they would rather die fighting than be captured by U.S. forces. Omar Khadr was given an AK-47 Kalashnikov, a pistol and took up a fighting position within the compound.
