Canada deports US army deserter
A soldier who deserted from the US army and sought refugee status in Canada has been deported to the US, the first sent back since the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
Robin Long fled to Canada in 2005 as his unit was preparing to be deployed.
He applied for refugee status in 2006, claiming he would suffer irreparable harm if he was forced to participate in an "illegal war of aggression".
Mr Long was arrested last year after his application was turned down and was subsequently told to leave the country.
