Khadr Family History


Some will recall a British story just a week or two ago about the sophisticated wives of Al Queda.

Same Family

[Kev]

Ok, caught the eastern news in Canada early and this is what they have done!

Both of the mother and the 14 year old son, the one that was crippled in a gunfight between the Taliban and Pakistani forces have been allowed back in on an emergency passport.

I assume it must be such a passport as they have had a history I believe of "losing" 13 prior passports


They had a brief interview with the one son who admitted his whole family grew up in Usama Bin Laden's close inner circle but who had since admitted on CBC last month that once he was released from Cuba he was sent to work as a spy for the CIA.

He claimed that his mother was innocent, or at least so because she was so in love with her terrorist husband and would have gone along with whatever he had proposed and did so.

They were known to come into Canada and live her for several years and whilst here raise funds for Al Queda and then leave to go back and live with Bin Laden and other AQ terrorists.

The claim is being made that since the young sons were actually born on Canadian soil they do have a right to be here.


The crippled son, long expected to want re-entry into Canada since their father was killed in a shoot out needed to come back in order to have his health care paid for by our system.

They are claiming that he will not be allowed to access it for the first 3 months so the family is going to be doing some fund raising in order to have it paid for.

I'm not a lawyer.
Id be interested to hear what Canajew has to say about this turnabout of events.


I cannot believe they were allowed back in regardless of where they were once born and am utterly disgusted with this turn of events!



Is it just me, or is this simply insanity on the behalf of our government or not?

Maha Elsamnah, 47, and her 14-year-old son Karim Khadr -- wounded last fall in a gunfight with Pakistani forces -- flew here yesterday and mocked the controversy over their reputed ties to terrorists

< despite the sons own admittal they all are connected >

Oust Khadrs, Tory demands

FAMILY WITH AL-QAIDA TIES BACK IN T.O.



AN OUTRAGED conservative opposition is demanding the federal government "revoke" the Canadian citizenship of the Khadr family and send them packing to Pakistan. Conservative foreign affairs critic Stockwell Day is fuming that two family members who have proudly espoused their ties to al-Qaida walked freely under a "Welcome to Canada" sign yesterday and out of Toronto's Pearson airport.

"Allowing (two members of the Khadr family) to return without Canadian passports and jump the queue ... diminishes the citizenship of all Canadians," Day said. "(The family) has been involved in the training fields and the killing fields of al-Qaida."

Maha Elsamnah, 47, and her 14-year-old son Karim Khadr -- wounded last fall in a gunfight with Pakistani forces -- flew here yesterday and mocked the controversy over their reputed ties to terrorists.

The two are the wife and son of Ahmed Said Khadr, 57, who was killed in Pakistan last year during a raid against suspected terrorists. They are a family long connected to al-Qaida. In a two-part CBC documentary they spoke of living in a compound with Osama bin Laden, of time spent in terrorist training camps and of supporting the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

But yesterday, when asked about their association with the terrorist group, Elsamnah laughed. "I have no connection to al-Qaida," she said while her son Karim flashed a peace sign.

Foreign affairs spokesman Sameer Ahmed said the government contacted the Pakistani government and facilitated one-time-only exit visas because "we have a responsibility to ensure that Canadian citizens can return to Canada."

MP Dan McTeague, an aide to Foreign Affairs Minister Bill Graham, said the Pakistani government, which is helping wage the war on terrorism, didn't consider the pair a threat.

The teen was shot in the spine during the shootout that killed his father.

Elsamnah's son Abdurahman -- who returned to Canada last fall after being released from the U.S. camp for terrorist suspects in Guantanamo Bay -- has said family members fought for al-Qaida and even stayed with bin Laden.

by that skewed logic the American Taliban kid was no longer a threat either

They will never get my vote again.

/waits for release of information now suggesting all family members were really spies for the CIA
