About Abdullah Khadr

  • Abdullah Ahmed Khadr (in Arabic ??????? ???? ???) (born April 30, 1981) is a Canadian citizen who is the oldest son of the late Ahmed Khadr, alleged to be a terrorist and al-Qaeda member.
  • Khadr has admitted buying weapons for al-Qaeda, but maintains that he was on friendly terms with its leaders due to his father's prominence in Pakistan and Afghanistan and was not a member. He was arrested in Pakistan in 2004 and returned to Canada in December 2005.

  • It was concluded by an appeal to the highest court in Ontario; the judges unanimously decided in October 2011 in favor of the lower court to refuse the extradition request.
  • Khadr was released from custody. After 1985 the Khadr children grew up mostly in Pakistan as their father worked there for charities aiding Afghan refugees.
  • Abdullah and his brothers did some arms training there.
  • His youngest brother, Omar Khadr, was captured by United States forces during a firefight in 2002 at the age of 15 in Afghanistan.
  • In October 2010 he pleaded guilty in a plea agreement to war crimes before the Guantanamo military commission after being held there since 2002.
  • He was repatriated to Canadian custody in September 2012. Abdullah Khadr has said that he would "be the first one to stop" any potential attacks against Canada.
