Ahmed was Abdulla's father who was also a failed suicide bomber. He attempted to kill his enemies in an unknown area, and he was thrown into a United States prison. Abdulla's Grandmother told him that his father would be proud that he would have a son take part in a suicide bombing. It's unknown what happened to Ahmed after Abdulla had been successful in his suicide bombing. He most likely was executed by the American government, and may as well join his son and his mother-in-law as well at the end of the tract.
