kuzadd Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) http://www.thestar.com/News/GTA/article/241957 Can't say I am surprised, and there will be more "stays" "Charges against two more of the youths arrested last summer in a massive police sweep were stayed in court yesterday, after each signed the first peace bonds for terrorism-related offences in Canada. "It's finally done," said one of the teens at the Brampton courthouse after signing the bond, which imposes various restrictions on him for up to one year. "I can't describe in words how (the past year) was," said the 18-year-old, who's been under house arrest for nearly a year and says he has suffered from anxiety, depression and insomnia. Although he's whiled away much of that time sleeping, playing video games and watching his big-screen TV – pastimes some may envy – all he's wanted is his freedom and the chance to step beyond his driveway without a parental escort. "But what counts is (the Crown) realized their mistake. They arrested too many people at the same time," he said, shaking his head. "This shows they cared. They looked into the case properly." The stay in proceedings against the youths – the other is now 19 – marks another setback in the government's landmark case. Earlier this year, charges were stayed against another youth. Yesterday, prosecutors declined to speak with reporters about the case as they left the courtroom. At stake is the reputation of Canada's spy service and federal police force, particularly since news of the alleged homegrown terrorism cell garnered international headlines last summer, when 14 adults and four youths were charged. The alleged cell was accused of plotting to bomb various targets in Ontario." The crown has some serious credibility issues with the Iman, they (CSIS)had "recruited" to run this "dog and pony show" Edited August 1, 2007 by kuzadd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuzadd Posted August 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 http://www.thestar.com/article/228636 Witness denies assault claim Mubin Shaikh, informant in upcoming terror case, is facing charges in unrelated dispute with 2 girls "The star witness in Toronto's biggest terrorism case denied terrorizing two 12-year-old girls in a separate incident that brought him to court yesterday afternoon. Mubin Shaikh, known for infiltrating the alleged cell of 18 suspects, said the girls taunted him with religious and ethnic slurs as he sat in a van on April 3. "She said, `Look look look, it's bin Laden, it's Taliban boy, it's Taliban boy,'" said Shaikh, who faces two counts of assault and one count of threatening bodily harm. He was in provincial court to schedule his next appearance – July 6. The charges stem from a bizarre encounter between Shaikh and two students from Kane Middle School, near Keele St. and Eglinton Ave. W. Police say two girls were returning to class after lunch when Shaikh accused the duo of skipping class. An argument ensued. Shaikh got out and allegedly bumped one girl in the chest and pushed her to the ground. According to police, he then said, "Do you know who I am? I'm going to chop off your legs." The other girl yelled at Shaikh to leave her friend alone and Shaikh allegedly grabbed that girl by the jacket and threw her to the ground. When a group of male students intervened, Shaikh allegedly ripped off his top, threw it to the ground and challenged them to take him on. Police say he then drove off erratically. He was arrested nearby." Why would csis have recruited such a person??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
