| Khadr sez his bro needs your help |
| 2004-03-19 |
| A Canadian whose family has strong ties to the al-Qaeda terrorist network pleaded with the federal government Friday to help his paralyzed 14-year-old brother return to Canada from Pakistan. Abdurahman Khadr, 21, described his brother Karim, who was badly injured in a clash with security forces that killed their father, as an innocent victim. âAs a child, forget what his father or his mother thinks,â Mr. Khadr said at a news conference. âAs just a child, a Canadian child, I think he needs help.â Karim has been in a hospital in Pakistan since the shootout last October. Mr. Khadr, who lives in Toronto, also pleaded with the Canadian government to ensure his mother and sister, who have expressed sympathy for al-Qaeda, are able to return from Pakistan. He said he worries they are under the spell of Muslim extremists and need to be away from them. The Canadian government has denied them passports because they have repeatedly lost previous ones. âMy mother and my sister, they haven't done anything and I'm trying to save them before they do something,â he said, noting they may try to travel illegally. âThat's why I want them to come back to Canada â to be away from that influence of al-Qaeda.â |

| #3 The Canadian government has denied them passports because they have repeatedly lost previous ones. A nice income source in a place like Pakland. |
