Canadian Plotter Proposed Suicide Attack on Israel
[Ottawa Sun-Canada] Donna Casey - In the terrorist trial of Momin Khawaja, 29, in Ontario Superior Court, it was revealed that on Oct. 27, 2003, Khawaja sent on e-mail to Omar Khyam, the convicted ringleader of a UK fertilizer bomb plot, suggesting that an associate named Immy be sent on a "one-way mission to Yahoodi land," a derogatory term for Israel. Prosecutor David McKercher said Tuesday this showed that Khawaja's desire to wage "violent jihad" against Western powers wasn't limited to fighting as an insurgent in Afghanistan. Defense lawyer Lawrence Greenspon has admitted that Khawaja built a remote-control device, dubbed the "Hi-Fi Digimonster," which the Crown says plotters planned to use in a 2004 UK plot targeting a nightclub, a shopping complex and gas and electric facilities.
