An Algerian terrorist suspect has been quietly deported from Vancouver after being held in custody for more than four years.
Samir Ait Mohamed was accused of belonging to the same terrorist cell as Ahmed Ressam, an Algerian who lived in Montreal. Ressam was sentenced to 22 years in a U.S. prison for plotting to bomb the Los Angeles airport. Mohamed was deported to Algeria on Wednesday, according to CBC News.
Canadian officials alleged Mohamed and Ressam planned to bomb the Montreal neighbourhood of Outremont because of its large Jewish population

...and i LOVED this part: Amnesty International has expressed concern over the deportation because of Algeria's human rights record.
Yeah, but, he is going to a U.S.prison, not an Algerian one. He'll get three hots and a cot for the next two decades....on the U.S. taxpayer. I don't get it. Amnesty International should be applauding, not "expressing concern."
sorry maybe I missed it but I think he is going back to algeria NOT to prison in the US.
i don't know that he is even going to prison at all. it sounds like they are just sending him home, for more training...
I THOUGHT the Algerian stop was temporary. Shows how wrongly I assumed.
If he goes back to Algeria, I assume (perhaps wrongly again) that his financial situation and family status will determine whether he returns as a "hero," goes to prison or is ignored.
They have no large boxes?
If you're referrring to coffins, no. Most Muslims bury their dead in linen shrouds, nothing more. Not enough lumber in desert countries for big box coffins.
If you are merely joking.....:o)
