There have been more revelations about what some of those charged in the alleged terror plot may have been planning to do before authorities stepped in.
Following a bail hearing for 15 of the 17 suspects charged in the supposed plot to blow up some still unidentified landmarks in Ontario comes a new bombshell.
The lawyer for one of the accused claims his client is facing allegations that he wanted to kill the country’s top politician.
“I don't want to comment greatly on the disclosure, but the allegations … are quite serious, including storming and bombing of various buildings and an allegation apparently that my client personally indicated that he wanted to behead the Prime Minister of Canada,” reveals Gary Batasar, who represents Stephen Chand.
Batasar won’t comment on the truthfulness of the allegation, but suggests the presence of so much media and Stephen Harper’s own comments haven’t helped his client get a fair day in court.
“By the presence of everybody here and the comments made by the Prime Minister himself with respect to these persons that have been arrested is surprising and shocking … I think the Prime Minister should keep out of the process and let justice take its course.”
Among the other contention made by the prosecutors: the group wanted to storm the Parliament Buildings and take politicians hostage. They also claim Toronto’s CBC headquarters were in their sights.
Batasar saw the charges for the first time in a document presented by the Crown on Tuesday.
“My comment made in court was very simple. If the Crown Attorney for the country of Canada is going to make these allegations, then certainly before our client commences a bail hearing we should have at least more than just simply a one-page synopsis of the allegations against them.”
Chand’s case has been put over until June 12th, and his co-accused will all make return appearances as well.
Other lawyers emerging from the heavily fortified courthouse have been complaining they haven’t been able to properly talk to their clients through anything but Plexiglas barriers, that the accused haven’t been able to meet with family members and as devout Muslims, they have not been given the proper opportunity for daily prayers.
"They're Muslim," explains lawyer Donald McLeod. "Clearly they'd like to be able to pray as a group. I'd like to facilitate that religious freedom they're entitled to."
On Monday, the list of some of the charges against those arrested in last week’s raid was revealed.
Twelve are facing one count each of participating in a terrorist group.
Three have been charged with importing weapons and ammunition for the purpose of terrorist activity.
Nine have been accused of receiving training from a terrorist group, while four are said to have provided that training.
And six are cited for intending to cause an explosion causing serious bodily harm or death.
Five young offenders are also charged but the nature of their offences hasn't been revealed.
Fifteen of the 17 charged made an appearance Tuesday. The other two remain in custody in Kingston.
