American special forces operative
Khadr, a Canadian child soldier of Egyptian and Palestinian descent, was captured by American troops at Ayub Kheyl shortly after the gunfight; he was alleged to have thrown the grenade that had killed Speer and wounded Morris, and was subsequently detained at Bagram Airfield. By late 2002, he was transferred to the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, where he eventually pled guilty to killing Speer. Khadr's lawyers allege that he was tortured into confessing. In 2012, Khadr was released from American custody and handed over to the Canadian government. Morris, along with Speer's widow, filed a civil suit against Khadr's father, who allegedly had close ties with al Qaeda. Their claim held Khadr's father responsible for Khadr's actions, as the latter was a legal minor — aged 15 at the time of the incident. Morris retired from the military. He returned to his home in Utah, where he became a housing director in West Valley City. He appeared in the National Geographic Society program U. S. Army Special Forces in 2003 and also interviewed on 60 Minutes in 2007. An official from the U. S. Treasury Department had acknowledged that Ahmed's assets had been frozen, but said it was up to Morris and Speer to locate them. American senator Orrin Hatch had been asked to intervene and was "very interested" in the case. In January 2008, an American attorney claimed that the federal government had "sovereign immunity" over the seized funds, asserting that it did not have to comply with a judgement in a civil suit:

"I guess I don't agree with giving these people all of the legal rights that citizens have,"
"I think everyone on both sides of the political aisle just wants to see some sort of resolution to their status and I guess it's just going to take longer now to figure out how that process is going to work." In 2008, a five page statement from an American soldier who shot Khadr said that the youth had not been the only occupant of the compound to have survived the American aerial bombardment. He said further that Khadr had been shot in the back; he was sitting upright with his back to the skirmish. This cast doubt on assertions that Khadr had thrown the grenade that killed Speer. In a telephone interview with Michelle Shephard of the Toronto Star, Morris insisted: "That was a total shock to me. Everyone had told me from the get go that there was only one guy in there." "Instead of surrendering and calling it a day, he made the decision to wait until personnel got close enough that he could restart the battle, pop up and throw a hand grenade." "I'm fine with this dragging on for another five years before there's a trial as long as they stay locked up."

Кадр, канадский солдат-подросток египетского и палестинского происхождения, был захвачен американскими войсками в Аюб-Хейле вскоре после перестрелки; утверждалось, что он бросил гранату, которая убила Спира и ранила Морриса, после чего был задержан на аэродроме Баграм. К концу 2002 года он был переведен в лагерь содержания под стражей в Гуантанамо, где в итоге признал себя виновным в убийстве Спира. Адвокаты Кадра утверждают, что его подвергали пыткам, чтобы добиться признания. В 2012 году Кадр был освобожден из-под американского контроля и передан канадскому правительству. Моррис вместе с вдовой Спира подали гражданский иск против отца Кадра, который, как сообщалось, имел тесные связи с «Аль-Каидой». В иске утверждалось, что отец Кадра несет ответственность за действия сына, поскольку последний был несовершеннолетним – ему было 15 лет на момент инцидента. Моррис вышел в отставку из армии. Он вернулся в свой дом в штате Юта, где стал руководителем жилищного фонда в городе Вест-Вэлли-Сити. Он появился в программе National Geographic Society «Специальные силы армии США» в 2003 году, а также дал интервью в программе «60 минут» в 2007 году. Представитель Министерства финансов США признал, что активы Ахмеда были заморожены, но заявил, что Моррису и Спиру предстоит их найти. Американский сенатор Оррин Хэтч был попрошен вмешаться и проявлял "большой интерес" к этому делу. В январе 2008 года американский адвокат заявил, что федеральное правительство обладает "суверенным иммунитетом" в отношении конфискованных средств, утверждая, что оно не обязано выполнять решение гражданского суда:

"Думаю, все, независимо от политических взглядов, хотят добиться какого-то решения их статуса, и, полагаю, потребуется больше времени, чтобы понять, как будет работать этот процесс." В 2008 году американский солдат, который стрелял в Кадра, в пятистраничном заявлении сообщил, что юноша был не единственным выжившим в результате американской авиационной бомбардировки. Он также заявил, что Кадр был застрелен в спину, когда сидел прямо, спиной к месту столкновения. Это поставило под сомнение утверждения о том, что Кадр бросил гранату, убившую Спира. В телефонном интервью Мишель Шепард из Toronto Star Моррис заявил: "Это был для меня полный шок. Все говорили мне с самого начала, что там был только один человек." "Вместо того чтобы сдаться и положить этому конец, он решил дождаться, пока личный состав не подойдет достаточно близко, чтобы он мог возобновить бой, подняться и бросить ручную гранату." "Я не против, если это затянется еще на пять лет до суда, пока они остаются в заключении."

Канада соглашается с семьей Хадра
Моррис раскритиковал канадское правительство за выплату Омару Хадру 10,5 млн канадских долларов, назвав это "возмутительным" в письме. Он призвал привлечь премьер-министра Канады Джастина Трюдо к ответственности за государственную измену, обвинив его в том, что он является "поклонником" и "сторонником" Омара Хадра. Он заявил, что канадскому правительству было неправильно урегулировать иск Хадра, и что вместо этого его следовало вынести на суд.
Morris criticized the Canadian government for paying out CA$10.5M to Khadr, describing it as “outrageous” in a letter. He called for Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau to be charged with treason, accusing him of being a "groupie" and "supporter" of Omar Khadr. He asserted that "it was wrong" for the Canadian government to settle Khadr's lawsuit, and that it should have been taken to court instead.
