But this is hard to swallow when one remembers that Khadr is a member of the “first family of terror” in Canada and supported jihad while following in the footsteps of his dad, Ahmed Khadr, an Egyptian immigrant to Canada, and a high-ranking al-Qaeda member and financier, his sister Zaynab who was charged with smuggling al-Qaeda propaganda into Canada and his brother, Abdullah Khadr, who is imprisoned in Canada on terrorism charges, as he awaits extradition to America.
