A Canadian jury have established a Toronto man guilty of attempting to join a Somali terrorist group, al-Shabab, which is accused of last year’s massacre at a Nairobi shopping mall. In addition to that, the 28-year-old former security guard at the building that houses the Hockey Hall of Fame, Mohamed Hersi, was found guilty of counselling another person to join al-Shabab.
The jury deliberated for almost two days before reaching the guilty verdict on Friday. The deliberations began on Wednesday, after which jurors returned to the court thrice in order to ask the judge questions. After the verdict was announced, a woman sobbed that “its not fair. Where is the justice in the world,” adding that “he didn’t do anything.” This is the first conviction of Canada against charges related to attempting to participate in terrorist activity. Hersi was allegedly leaving for Cairo when he was arrested at Toronto’s Pearson airport in March 2011. However, the Crown argues that he was suspected being on way to Somalia, where he was born, to join al-Shabab. Two of his friends had already joined al-Shabab in 2009, one of whom is now dead.
Soon after the arrest, RCMP stated that Hersi was charged with “attempting to participate in terrorist activity” and “providing counsel to a person to participate in terrorist activity.” The counselling charge stemmed from advice Hersi gave an undercover Toronto police officer playing the role of a Somali-Canadian who wanted to travel to Somalia to join al-Shabab.¬
