Growing up in the 1990s, Abdurahman Khadr's playmates were the children of his father's longtime friend, Osama bin Laden.

How Khadr was raised to be an Al Qaeda terrorist -- and how he ultimately decided to become a U.S. informant in the war on terror -- is the focus of the FRONTLINE report "Son of Al Qaeda." Through interviews with Khadr as well as his mother and siblings, the one-hour documentary recounts his incredible journey from terrorist trainee to informant, offering a revealing glimpse inside the world -- and mindset -- of Al Qaeda followers.

"I want to show people that I'm a person … that was raised to become an Al Qaeda, was raised to become a suicide bomber," 21-year-old Khadr tells Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) correspondent Terence McKenna. "I decided on my own that I do not want to do that.

In "Son of Al Qaeda," Abdurahman Khadr and his family members offer a rarely seen private portrait of Osama bin Laden, describing him as an ordinary man with a love for poetry, horseback riding, and a good game of volleyball.

Al-Qaida uses the idelogy codeveloped with the US-CIA, that claims that muslims who kill infidels, espescially infidels from people that have sent troops against your people, by making suicide with a bomb, are automatically martyrs that come to paradise and get married to numerous beautiful virgins.

It's good for Khadr to not have bought into that wrong ideology, but it's not good for him to cooperate with the US and the CIA, who have helped in creating Al-Kaida and that same ideology, decades ago.

In my eys both Alkaida as well as the US-governments, armies and secret agencies are terrorists.

Blaming the US for your problems only serves to prove that your nation is weak.
