‘Extremely serious’: Calgary man involved in terrorism activity sentenced to 12 years
CALGARY – A man who admitted to terrorism-related acts with the militant group Islamic State, saying he didn’t know any better,has been sentenced to 12 years in prison.
Hussein Borhot, 36, appeared Thursday before Court of Queen’s Bench Justice David Labrenz for a sentencing hearing in Calgary.
“Quite clearly, you intended to assist or facilitate the activities of a terrorist group. You carried that plan into action,” Labrenz told Borhot as the judge accepted a joint sentencing recommendation from the Crown and the defence.
