Abdulkareem Khadr ((アラビア語:عبد الكريم خضر), born March 29, 1989) is a Canadian citizen and the youngest son of the Ahmed Khadr family. His father and mother were Egyptian and Palestinian immigrants, respectively. His father took the family to Pakistan in 1985, where they chiefly lived while he was doing charitable work to aid Afghan refugees. They frequently traveled back to Canada to see the children's maternal grandparents. In the 1990s, they moved to Kabul, Afghanistan. In 2003, Abdulkareem at the age of 14 was with his father Ahmed Khadr in Waziristan region during a shoot-out with Pakistani security forces near the border of Afghanistan. His father was killed and Abdulkareem was severely wounded, resulting in his becoming paralyzed. In 2004, he and his mother Maha el-Samnah returned to Canada, where they reside in Toronto. ==Early life and education== The family lived most of the time in Pakistan in the period when the younger children were born. Their father was wounded in 1992, and Abdulkareem traveled with his parents to Canada for his father's care. They went briefly to Tajikistan in 1994. The Saudi Muslim guerrilla fighter and financier Ibn Al-Khattab gave Abdulkareem a rabbit of his own, which he named ''Khattab''.〔Michelle Shephard, ''Guantanamo's Child'', 2008.〕 Around 1999, while he and his parents were staying with the family of Ayman al-Zawahiri in Kandahar, the ten-year-old Abdulkareem begged the al-Qaeda leader to let him hold his gun after he returned home one night. Al-Zawahiri relented, and let the boy inspect the weapon.〔Wright, Lawrence, ''The Looming Tower,'' 2006〕 In 2001, the family split up, with Maha taking the younger children, with the help of Zaynab, to go with other families into the mountains. Ahmed would visit them regularly. In 2002, Abdulkareem accompanied his older sister Zaynab Khadr to Lahore, where she went for medical care for her two-year-old daughter. The siblings were joined there by their brother Abdullah Khadr, who needed surgery on his nose.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abdulkareem Khadr」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
