Terrorism Charges
Dirie and Mohamed both pled guilty to charges of possession and importing firearms, and the Crown dropped the charges of possession and importing for the purposes of trafficking. They were sentenced to two years' imprisonment.
Nine months into their sentence, both men were charged with importing firearms for the benefit of a terrorist group and participating in a terrorist group, when Ahmad - who had paid for their rental car - was charged in the 2006 Toronto terrorism case.
As a result of preferred direct indictment by the Crown Attorney on 2007-09-24, Mohamed was re-arrested and only faced 2 charges after the Crown dropped the third charge of providing property to aid and abet a terrorist organization.

Famous quotes containing the word charges:
“I have never injured anybody with a mordant poem; my
verse contains charges against nobody. Ingenuous, I have
shunned wit steeped in venom—not a letter of mine is dipped
in poisonous jest.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
