A judge will decide Wednesday the guilt or innocence of a Canadian man accused of participating in a plot to bomb British targets in 2004.
Momin Khawaja, a Pakistani-born Canadian citizen, is accused of collaborating with British Muslims, also of Pakistani descent, in a thwarted plan to bomb British buildings and natural gas lines. Five alleged coconspirators were convicted in London last year and jailed for life.
Justice Douglas Rutherford will issue his verdict on Wednesday morning in a trial that started in June. Legal disputes and constitutional challenges delayed the trial for years.
Khawaja was the first person to be charged of a terrorist offense in Canada since the country enacted anti-terrorism laws in 2001 and his case is considered the first major test of those laws.
