Suspect convicted in Canadian terror plot that aimed to behead PM
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
A judge has found a suspect guilty of knowingly participating in a terrorist group that allegedly plotted to storm Canada's Parliament and behead the prime minister.
Superior Court Justice John Sproat convicted the youth Thursday. He is the first person to be convicted of a designated terrorist offense in Canada since the country enacted anti-terrorism laws in 2001.
The defendant, a Canadian, has not been identified because he was 17, a legal minor, at the time of his 2006 arrest.
He was one of 18 people characterized as Islamic militants and arrested for allegedly plotting to attack Parliament buildings, behead the prime minister and truck-bomb nuclear power plants and a building housing Canada's spy service.
