Terrorism suspect was on 'Canadian Idol'
TORONTO — A man who appeared on Canada's version of "American Idol" was the third person arrested as part of an alleged plot against targets in Canada and abroad, police said Thursday.
The two other suspects made a brief appearance in court on Thursday on charges they had plans to make bombs and had plans to use them.
Police arrested Hiva Alizadeh and Misbahuddin Ahmed in Ottawa on Wednesday and Khurram Syed Sher in London, Ontario on Thursday. Alizadeh, 30, and Ahmed, 26, appeared in court Thursday. All three are Canadian.
Sher, 28, appeared in an audition on the reality show "Canadian Idol" in 2008 in which he sings a comical version of Avril Lavigne's "Complicated," complete with dance moves that include a moonwalk. He told the judges he's from Pakistan and likes hockey, music and acting. The judges weren't impressed by either his singing or his dancing.
"Have you ever thought of being a comedian?" one asks in a video posted on YouTube.
Police said Sher is a doctor in St. Thomas, Ontario.
Police allege the men had plans and schematics to make improvised explosive devices. Police seized 50 electronic circuit boards which they say could be used as remote-control triggers for bombs. They said one of the men was trained overseas to make explosive booby traps, but did not specify which one.
ameen and in all cases
one_shot, Yes i do agree that sometimes(rather say most of the times)the government or the police do arrest the wrong suspects..And before they realise their mistake, it's too late...
Hope the justice come out at the end in this case..
u said so they are suspects
but the guy in the taxi is a criminal,
in these days we can't believe also what the motivation of some people or governments to put people in jail because of guessing.
suspect is innocent until they convict him ;)
i think this statement is in the human rights which it demands the minimum level of humanity rights
one_shot, i am talking in general..Not specifically related to only this incident where a youth as young as 30 has been covicted/arrested on terror suspect...
I have seen numerous such cases where youths do get involve in illegal activities...I don't know what movtivates them to follow these ways..Is it to earn quick name, fame and money???? :))))
soniya
Are u talking about the one who attacked the taxi driver?
;)
What to say on this?? I just wish that the no youths should be misguided towards wrong path in their crucial age...
Can any one tells me what happened to this teacher who asked is students to draw the worst terrorist attack on australia??
ahh, he is white , so a warning is more than enough for him
and repays Canadians in this manner?
May Almighty Allah guides them... Aameen.
What is Canadian?
are canadians born in canada these days?
Didn't see the video but read the article!And if he is what he's suspected to be then he's one messed up man..May Allah guide him..Aameen!
