BRISBANE, Australia - Irish rock group U2 opened an Australian tour with a call for the only Australian terror suspect held by the U.S. military at Guantanamo Bay to be repatriated and tried at home.
Activist lead singer Bono interrupted the band's anthem "Sunday Bloody Sunday" at a concert in the city of Brisbane on Tuesday night to call for alleged Taliban fighter David Hicks, 31, to be brought back from the U.S. military base in Cuba where he has been held for almost five years without trial.
"In our 20s, we used to do a lot of work for Amnesty and tonight we're still working for them," said Bono, referring to the campaign by London-based human rights group Amnesty International to end Hicks' incarceration.
