You are right.
After your earlier post, I looked at other articles, it seems I confused this terrorists with another one who is Canadian. I asked the AM to removed the part I added in paranthesis, because it is erroneous.
Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
It's hard to keep all these terrorists straight.

Terror plot suspect attended Concordia: Report
OTTAWA (CP) — The man pegged as ringleader of an alleged terrorist plot to bomb tunnels in New York attended Montreal's Concordia University in the mid-1990s, The Canadian Press has learned.
And a Beirut TV station says Assem Hammoud was recruited into Al-Qaeda in 1994 while the Lebanese national was studying in the city.
A source familiar with the case denied media reports that Hammoud, identified by the FBI as central figure in the scheme, held a valid Canadian passport.
The source told CP on Saturday that neither the 31-year-old Hammoud nor his parents are Canadian citizens — meaning that if he did ever travel on a Canadian passport, the document was a fake.
Nor has Foreign Affairs received a request for assistance from Hammoud, as might be expected when a Canadian passport holder runs into trouble abroad.
"He is not Canadian, therefore he is not entitled to a Canadian passport," said the source, who asked not be to named. "He has no legal ties to Canada."
Hammoud, also known as Amir Andalousi, took business-related courses at Concordia, possibly from 1993 to 1997, the official said.
