Abdulkareem Khadr - in Canada

In Canada

In January 2004, Pakistani authorities said that Khadr wanted to return to Canada, and said they had no objects. In February 2004 Canadian officials said the government would not subsidize the medical costs for Khadr's return, which were stimated at $30,000, although they would grant him a passport.

After he and his mother entered the country on April 9, 2004, there were suggestions that they may not qualify for OHIP medical coverage, as they had lived mostly outside of Canada for so long. At the airport, Khadr flashed the peace sign to gathered reporters, and gained headlines. Three months after returning to Canada, he was legally eligible for care. A week later Dr. Marty McKay, a private doctor who had never met the family, registered a three-page complaint with the Children's Aid Society, alleging child abuse and possible brainwashing of Abdulkareem based on what she had read in the media.

In 2010, Abdulkareem Khadr, then 21, was charged with sexual assault and sexual exploitation, Toronto police spokesman said. The alleged female victim was a minor at the time of the event, but was 18 at the time of the charges. On June 4, 2010 Khadr was arrested by the Canadian police. Later released, he was summoned to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice on July 15, 2010 to answer the charges. He denies all responsibility on the affair.

Others of the Khadr family in Canada include his sister Zaynab Khadr and her daughter, his older brothers Abdullah, Abdurahman, who worked as an undercover informant for the CIA in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp and in Bosnia before returning to Canada; and Omar Khadr, the last to arrive. He was repatriated in October 2012 from Guantanamo, where he had been detained since being captured at age 15 in Afghanistan. He pleaded guilty in a plea agreement in 2010, and is serving the remainder of his eight-year sentence in Canada.
