Toronto Star, "Canadian charged in bomb attack", January 5 1996] ]He re-surfaced in Tehran in October 1997, and contacted the Khadr family to try and re-schedule the wedding he had missed. Ahmed agreed to bring his family on a long vacation culminating in the city for a farewell to the reluctant Zaynab as she started a new life with Abdullah.
Six months after the couple began living in a rented Tehran apartment, Abdullah phoned his father-in-law to report that Zaynab was inconsolable at being separated from her family, and the marriage wasn't working out. She returned to live with her family.
In 1999, he was arrested in Pakistan, and was one of hundreds extradited to the Egyptian Returnees from Albania tribunal. He was sentenced to a lengthy prison term.
