The US paid way too much for this kid. National Post
A traitorous Canadian Citizen....
The U.S. government paid Pakistan authorities a $500,000 bounty to capture Abdullah Khadr, a Toronto man facing terrorism-related charges, according to Federal Court documents made public Monday.
Justice Richard Mosley ordered the release of information on Khadr, who is fighting his extradition to the U.S., including an October, 2004, briefing note to the RCMP commissioner.
"The fact that a foreign state paid a bounty for the apprehension of a Canadian citizen abroad and that Canadian officials were aware of it at an early stage is also a matter in which the public would have legitimate interest," Mosley wrote.The briefing note indicates that Khadr, the eldest son of the notorious Khadr family, is a "national security threat."
"He is a primary target of project OCANADA due to his role with [al-Qaeda] training camps and supporting insurgent activity in Pakistan/Afghanistan in past months ... He is deemed to be a great intelligence asset due to his close relationship with Osama bin Laden and other AQ members."
Khadr is accused of selling weapons and explosives to al-Qaida for attacks against coalition troops in Afghanistan. He was arrested at the request of the U.S. two weeks after he turned up in Toronto in 2005 after being freed from "investigative detention" in Pakistan, where he faced no charges.
The Canadian government is seeking to extradite him to the United States.
His alleged crimes carry maximum penalties of life imprisonment and a $1-million fine

Kyros, yes his bounty was kinda rich and no doubt it's going to cost a fortune to keep him in Supermax for the rest of his life. (God willing.) Too bad he didn't have an accident or something while in Pakistan ... (now, Dinah play nice.)
I also like how these big jihadi types whine like baby pussies when they're finally caught.
Khadr has said that during his imprisonment in Pakistan, he was hooded, beaten and threatened with rape, and that American and Canadian authorities who interrogated him were aware of the torture.
I guess we can take comfort in the fact that they just reduced the bounty on al Masri from $1 mil to $100,000. That had to be a blow to his masculine ego...ha-ha!
