Man with al Qaeda ties likely to plead guilty to terror offence in Montreal: lawyer
A man with ties to al-Qaida who allegedly threatened to bomb public transit will likely plead guilty, his lawyer said Monday at the Montreal courthouse.
Mohamed Abdullah Warsame, 51, appeared in court by video conference from Montreal’s Rivière-des-Prairies detention centre, where he waived his right to a bail hearing.
Warsame was arrested June 5 and later charged with uttering threats after allegedly telling an employee at a Montreal homeless shelter he wanted to build bombs and detonate them on public transit.
