Seventeen people arrested, allegedly planning to blow stuff up with three tons of ammonium nitrate fertilizer, and Canada’s supreme court (loaded with Liberal Party appointees) does this: Federal Court says Ottawa can’t deny Abdurahman Khadr a passport.
TORONTO (CP) - The Federal Court says Ottawa can’t deny the son of an Egyptian-born terrorist a Canadian passport because of national security concerns.
The court has ruled that the federal government was wrong to deny Abdurahman Khadr’s application two years ago. That’s because new anti-terror provisions didn’t legally exist when the self-proclaimed black sheep of the family made his application in 2004. Lawyers argued the case in December.
Khadr returned to Canada two years after being arrested as a presumed member of al-Qaida in November 2001. He was later transferred to Guantanamo Bay and deported to Afghanistan.
His brothers Abdullah and Omar have been charged with terrorist activities.
