Abdulkareem Khadr (Arabic: عبد الكريم خضر, ʿAbd al-Karīm Ḫaḍr born March 29, 1989) is a Canadian citizen and the youngest son of the Ahmed Khadr family. His parents were Egpytian 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.
