Get breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.John Walker Lindh, the American man who pleaded guilty to fighting for the Taliban after the 9/11 attacks, is slated to be released from prison next month under terms restricting his internet access.

"Given the rare nature of defendant's crime and his unique personal history and characteristics, the probation officer recently filed a request asking the court to impose additional special conditions of supervised release which will govern defendant's behavior post-confinement," Judge T.S. Ellis III wrote in court papers filed earlier this month.

Court filings show that Lindh initially opposed the restrictions but dropped his objections after consulting with a lawyer. He was among a group of Taliban detainees who allegedly took part in a violent uprising at a detention compound that same month. The uprising led to the death of Johnny Spann, a CIA agent who was involved in questioning Lindh just prior to the uprising.
