The Supreme Court of Canada will not hear the appeal of Raed Jaser, who was convicted of planning to commit a murder for the benefit of a terrorist group.
It is the last development in a legal saga that began 12 years ago with charges against Jaser and Chiheb Esseghaier for consigning attacks, including the planned sabotage of a passenger train via.
The crown alleged that Jaser and Esseghaier had agreed to kill Canadian citizens to force Canada to eliminate their Military from Afghanistan.
The evidence of the crown consisted mainly of intercepted communications and the testimony of an undercover agent of the Federal Office of Research of the United States assigned to make Esseghaier’s friends.
A jury could not reach a verdict for Jaser about the position of the railway plot, but found him guilty of three other offenses related to terrorism.
The Supreme Court, following its usual practice, did not provide reasons to refuse to review Jaser’s case.
