Abdullah Khadr - Time in Pakistan

Time in Pakistan

It is alleged that in 2003, Abdullah's father Ahmed Khadr was asked to organise militants operating near the border of Shagai, Pakistan, and subsequently asked the 22-year-old Abdullah to help him procure weapons due to his experience several years earlier. Allegedly, Khadr procured weapons for his father, and became an arms dealer, selling weapons to other militants, earning himself about $5000 in profit on the transactions of approximately $20,000 worth of mortar rounds, landmines, grenades and AK-47 ammunition.

After his father's death in October 2003, Abdullah allegedly continued his trade in weapons.

Khadr also allegedly read the instruction manual for a GPS unit to determine its operation for militant friends in Pakistan who wanted to measure the distance between a local graveyard and a house he believed belonged to Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz. The house turned out to belong to President Pervez Musharraf, and Khadr's friends were later arrested near the graveyard.

He is also alleged to have purchased a forged Pakistani passport for 30,000 rupees ($600), and to have given it to his sister Zaynab for safekeeping.

In October 2004, he was allegedly in the process of purchasing five Soviet 9K38 Igla Surface-to-air missiles for $1000 apiece from a 29-year-old Pakistani member of Lakshar e-Taiba with whom he offered to split the profit upon selling the weapons for $5000 apiece to the same man who'd taught him how to acquire munitions in 2000.
