Canada: Men Found Guilty of Terrorism Canada: Men Found Guilty of Terrorism
(about 2 hours later)
Two men who plotted to derail a passenger train traveling from New York to Toronto were convicted on Friday of various terrorism charges, including terrorism-related conspiracy to commit murder. Most of the evidence against the men, Chiheb Esseghaier, a Tunisian graduate student in Montreal, and Raed Jaser, a stateless Palestinian with previous criminal convictions, were recordings secretly made by an F.B.I. agent who posed as a wealthy American businessman who held radical political and religious views. Mr. Esseghaier refused to participate in the trial in Ontario Superior Court in Toronto, saying he would be judged only by the laws of Islam. The two men are to be sentenced next month and could face life in prison.
