They moved to Pakistan in 1985 because he wanted to do charitable work for Afghan refugees following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in the 1980s. In 1986, the family was living in an apartment in Peshawar on an $800 monthly allowance.〔Cahill, Jack. ''Toronto Star'', "'Pretty toys' maiming Afghan kids", September 25 1986〕 In 1992 the family returned to Canada and rented an apartment near Bloor/Dundas following an incident in Afghanistan that left the father Ahmed disabled and needing rehabilitation. They later moved into the Bloor/Lansdowne area. The family left a year and a half later and returned to Pakistan. In 1995 Khadr was arrested on suspicion of being involved in the bombing of the Egyptian embassy in Pakistan, but was released. In September 1997, the Khadr family moved into a three-room house.〔Stackhouse, John. ''Globe and Mail,'' "Canadian sought for questioning in car bombing", September 5, 1998〕 During this time, they visited Nazim Jihad, the family home of Osama bin Laden in Jalalabad, Afghanistan, which the children nicknamed "''Star Wars''".〔 They stayed at the compound the following year during the father's absence. The family say they stayed two days, while the FBI says it was a month.〔〔Hughes, Gregory T. Federal Bureau of Investigation, "Affidavit of Gregory T. Hughes", 2005〕 They subsequently moved to the Karte Parwan neighbourhood of Kabul and lived there from 1999–2001.〔Testimony of Abdurahman Khadr as a witness in the trial against Charkaoui, July 13 2004〕 The Khadrs were registered as operators of a Canadian charity. They closed their office in the upscale Wazir Akbar Khan neighbourhood to bring work in their own home. Following the Invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001, Maha, with Abdulkareem, Omar, and her young daughter; and Zaynab and her daughter Safia joined a convoy leaving Kabul to travel towards Gardez. They discovered that their intended residence had been bombed.〔"Married to the Jihad: The Lonely World of al-Qaida", March 27, 2004〕 They traveled to an orphanage that Ahmed had run. In 2003 they stayed briefly with a family in Birmal, Pakistan. They finally moved in with a Pashto family in a hut in the mountains, where they saw Ahmed monthly.〔 In 2002 Omar Khadr was captured at the age of 15 in Afghanistan and had since been detained in United States military custody at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp. His brother Abdurahman Khadr had been arrested and worked as an undercover informant with the CIA while "held" as a detainee at Guantanamo; he later continued to work undercover in Bosnia.〔(Interviews: ''Son of Al-Qaeda'' ), 2008, ''PBS Frontline'', accessed 23 January 2013〕 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「Khadr family」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
