Twenty-three-year-old Mohamed Kohail, a Canadian citizen, is appealing his death sentence for killing Munzer Haraki in a schoolyard brawl in Saudi Arabia in January last year. The appeal is due to be heard by June 7. Kohail's parents have nine witnesses who say that during the melee a stone fence collapsed, killing Haraki. They have placed a video of the fight on Facebook, showing Haraki kicking Kohail in the head while being held down on the ground by another person. It is claimed that a group of about IS attacked the Kohail brothers Mohamed and Sultan and a friend, Mohana Ezzazt. Omar Khadr's lawyers did not get everything that they wanted, but the Canadian government ended up with egg on its face-big time. And not just the current Conservative minority government, as the events in qu...

[ROSEMARY BROWN], (1930 -2003) was a Canadian politician. She was born in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1930, and moved to Canada in 1950. She served as a member of the Legislative Assembly in the British Columbia from 1972 to 1986, making her the first Black Canadian woman to be elected to a Canadian provincial legislature. In 1975, she became the first black woman to run for the lead- ership of a Canadian Federal Party Brown was sworn to the Queen's Privy Council for Canada as a member of the Canadian Security Intelligence Review Committee from 1993 to 1998. This board is the overseer for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, or CSIS.
In its document "Country Reports on Terrorism 2005," the U.S. State Department finds Canada to be soft on terrorism. "The principal threat to the close U.S.-Canadian cooperative relationship remains the fallout from the Arar case," the document finds. "U.S. authorities in 2002 detained dual nationality Canadian-Syrian terrorist suspect Maher Arar in New York and returned him to his native Syria." Now we have a massive account of the Arar affair, a three-volume report by Justice Dennis O'Connor. Much of the blame for what happened to Arar falls upon the RCMP. Officers green to intelligence work were assigned to the case without adequate supervision. They made invalid assumptions about Arar and spread false information, both to American sources and to their own government. And when Arar r...

Reminiscent of that fateful day in June 2006 when police arrested 17 Muslim men and youths on terrorism charges (see August 2006 Washington Report, p. 44), the media sensationalism started all over again, with the reporting of incomplete evidence under outrageous headlines. [...] the charges are based almost entirely on the testimony of informants for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS).
There are important lessons to be learned from the arrests of 17 Canadian Muslims in the plot to attack Ontario landmarks. Canadian prosecutors claim the men plotted to storm the Canadian parliament building in Ottawa, take hostages and behead Prime Minister Stephen Harper if the Canadian government refused to withdraw its 2,300 troops from Afghanistan. The group also considered bombing a nuclear power plant, taking over Canadian Broadcasting Corporation studios in Toronto, targeting the CN Tower and the Toronto Stock Exchange and attacking Canadian Security Intelligence Service facilities in Toronto or Ottawa. As was the case with last July's London subway bombings, the Canadian arrests remind us that the terrorist threat comes not only from foreign nationals who obtain visas to travel...
Canadian security and immigration practices came under scrutiny yesterday after the weekend arrests of 17 persons suspected of plotting to blow up southern Ontario landmarks. About 90 percent of immigration applicants from Pakistan and Afghanistan in the past five years have not been sufficiently screened for security concerns, Jack Hooper, deputy director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), told a Senate committee last month.
TORONTO Canada's spy agency made new allegations against a Montreal man who has been accused of being an al-Qaida sleeper agent, saying he once discussed commandeering a commercial aircraft and had applied to work for Air Canada. The Canadian Security Intelligence Service laid the allegations against Moroccan-born Adil Charkaoui on Friday as the federal government renewed its efforts to deport him and four other men accused of having terrorist links.
Kutty discusses Canada's attempts to assuage the growing insecurity gripping the Canadian-Muslim community, especially with the accusation of Maher Arar--the Canadian citizen detained by US officials during a September 2002 transit stop in New York and deported to Syria, where he was allegedly tortured. Among other things, he mentions that the severe problem has made the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Canada distribute almost 30,000 Know Your Rights guide and organized 27 workshops across the country in dealing with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.
While Canada's security services performed admirably in the investigation leading to last weekend's arrests of Muslim men for planning a series of terrorist attacks, Ottawa has only begun to address the larger problem: that its lenient asylum, immigration and refugee-status laws have made Canada a haven for terrorists with easy access to the United States. The threat was spotlighted Thursday at a hearing held by House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security and Claims. The panel, chaired by Rep. John Hostettler, Indiana Republican, heard chilling testimony from Janice Kephart, a former counsel to the September 11 commission, and David Harris, formerly strategic planning chief for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS). Much of the problem, according to Mr. Harr...
