Muslim crime wave in Canada .... Part VII

I fear I have missed on many more, having focused on Ontario only and not Canada as a whole.  Also, both the Police Services  as well as the RCMP are strangely reluctant to give the names of the criminals if the names of the criminals or suspects happen to be muslim names or trying to get info through their sites have proven fruitless.  However, both the RCMP and the various police depts have no problem giving out Anglo and  Latin names  .... no problem at all. 

49) A Lebanese-born Canadian man on the FBI's most wanted list of terror suspects is accused of using a fake passport in an attempt to enter Israel and conduct a bombing on behalf of the Islamic militant group Hezbollah, according to an indictment unsealed in U.S. federal court in Detroit.

Faouzi Ayoub, 44, faces one count of passport fraud, according to the August 2009 indictment that was only unsealed in U.S. District Court in Detroit within the past week.

Federal prosecutors accuse Ayoub, whose last known U.S. residence was in southeast Michigan, of using a passport under the name of Frank Mariano Boschi to enter Israel in October 2000. The indictment does not indicate whether authorities believe Ayoub, who is also known as Fawzi Ayoub, participated in any bombing.

50) Jamal Harouya is finally out of jail, four days after he was acquitted of sex charges.

After a judge told him he was free to go Monday, Harouya learned that an immigration hold had been placed on him.

Immigration authorities kept him locked up and might seek to deport him.  Defence lawyer Geraldine Castle-Trudel obtained Harouya's release at a detention review Thursday morning.

In December 2009, Harouya was sentenced to two years for perjury and other charges arising from his conviction for the 1996 sexual touching of a 12-year-old boy in Montreal, La Presse reported.

Harouya, who is a permanent resident from Morocco, would be unlikely to attend future hearings and likely to re-offend, immigration authorities argued Thursday.

Castle-Trudel noted Harouya is appealing the perjury conviction and was granted bail. The Quebec Court of Appeal would have considered the same risks, she said..........

51) A ruthless syndicate of ethnic Albanians in the United States, Canada and Europe orchestrated a multimillion drug-dealing scheme spanning a decade, at times hiding shipments of cocaine in luxury cars and using gunplay and other violence to protect its turf, U.S. authorities said Wednesday.

An indictment unsealed in federal court in Brooklyn charged 37 people with multiple counts of conspiracy to smuggle and distribute massive amounts of high-grade marijuana and cocaine.

52) RCMP in southeastern New Brunswick say two men have been charged after a teenage girl was allegedly forced to perform sexual acts.

Police allege three men approached the girl in a mall parking lot in Dieppe on July 4. They say the girl was convinced to follow the men to a nearby vehicle where the sexual acts occurred.

Police say 20-year-old Ahmed Abdulaziz Alsaif of Saint John, N.B., was arrested in his hometown Tuesday and charged with being party to a criminal offence. He has been released on conditions and is due in court on Aug. 3 to enter a plea.........

53) A Toronto man has been jailed in Senegal, allegedly on suspicion of financing terrorist activity, CBC News has learned.

Newspapers in the West African country report Senegalese police are investigating Said Ali Mohamoud for allegedly financing terrorist activity linked to al-Shabab, a Somali organization associated with al-Qaeda.

54) On July 23, 2008, Mr. Ghandour and six others, including his son Karim, were arrested near Windsor on seven counts, including fraud, conspiracy, cocaine and marijuana possession, money laundering and possession of forgery equipment.

Police claimed to have broken up a credit and debit card skimming operation. The charges were withdrawn that September due to insufficient evidence. Still, police - notably counterterrorism police - maintained an active interest in the Ghandours.

When Ms. Ajami returned to Canada in November, she was met at the Toronto airport by Detective Kelly Labonte, a member of the OPP Provincial Anti-Terrorism Section, or PATS. Described by a judge as a "very experienced and shrewd police officer," Det. Labonte worked in the PATS intelligence unit in Windsor.........

.........About 20,000 to 30,000 stolen cars are exported from Canada every year, according to the IBC. Most go to West Africa, where they are resold for up to double their value. But some also go to Lebanon. A police investigation called Project Globe identified hundreds of stolen Canadian vehicles that turned up in Lebanon, Mr. Dubin said......

55) Many of us suspected this to be an honor killing Shortly after 5 p.m. Friday, a man's desperate cries rang out down the halls of the Scarborough highrise where Jake Terveld has lived for the past five years. He was screaming and yelling and crying. He was banging on the doors and banging on the walls. Terveld said.He was yelling, ˜My daughter. Terveld called 911, then followed the distraught man into the apartment beside his own on the sixth floor. He saw a woman lying on the bed, like a statue. He didnt see any blood, but it was clear she was dead.

And sure enough it was: Details are slowly coming out about Monday’s deadly encounter between York Regional Police officers and a 49-year-old man who stabbed his wife to death in their Thornhill home.

The province’s Special Investigations Unit, which is probing the police shooting, now says two cops opened fire on the man around 11 p.m. at 90 Cottonwood Ct., near Don Mills Rd. and John St.

Once inside the home, it’s believed the officers were confronted by a knife-wielding man, now officially identified by the SIU as Kaveh Sabouri Tabatabaei.

“During this interaction two officers discharged their firearms,” SIU spokesman Frank Phillips said Wednesday in a prepared statement. “Mr. Tabatabaei sustained a fatal gunshot injury.”

The dead man’s wife, Nasrin Toreihi, 47, was found in the three-storey home suffering from fatal stab wounds.

56) Ahmed Hussen, president of the Canadian Somali Congress, told U.S. lawmakers that the Canadian government was concentrating on detecting and arresting terror suspects whileleaving their rhetoric unchallenged.

“The strategy of Canadian officials as they confront this phenomenon in my community has been to view this serious matter only through the prism of law enforcement,” he said. “There has not been a parallel attempt to counter the toxic anti-Western narrative that creates a culture of victimhood in the minds of members of our community.”

Mr. Hussen was the lead witness at controversial Committee on Homeland Security hearings in Washington probing radicalization within the American Muslim community. Testimony Wednesday focused on the Somali militant group Al-Shabab.

A report released by the committee says 20 Canadians and at least 40 Americans have joined Al-Shabab since 2007. Fifteen American recruits have died, including three suicide bombers, while three of the Canadians are dead, it says.

57) Seeing a swastika painted on his synagogue wall brought back painful memories for Holocaust survivor Edward Fisch.

"Every time I see a swastika, I think of the Nazis marching up and down the street and grabbing people and shooting people and killing people," Fisch said outside North York's Beth Tikvah synagogue the morning of Friday, Aug. 5.

58) Police have made another arrest in the 2009 murder of 21-year-old Kamal Hercules.

Hercules was gunned down near Front and Lower Sherbourne streets at 3:45 a.m. Sept. 5, 2009.

In May 2010, 23-year-old Fayisa Ahmed Ibrahim was charged with first-degree murder. In May 2011, a warrant was issued for 24-year-old Abdalla Mohammed Hassan for accessory after the fact for murder.

59) I think I had missed this in the last report: His campaign website said he "came to Canada with $2,600 in his pocket and a dream to make a better life for himself and his family."

But Salman Farooq, a Woodbridge resident who until last week was the provincial Conservative Party candidate in Pickering-Scarborough East, was arrested Wednesday, March 30, and faces 14 criminal charges, including fraud over $5,000.

Farooq, 35, whose full name is Salman Farooq Sheikh, had worked, according to a resume, as a residential mortgage broker and underwriter since June 2006 at New Vision Mortgages Inc.

Toronto police allege that in 2007 Farooq "fraudulently purchased a home and obtained a mortgage for the property by fraudulent means," allegedly by impersonating a vice-consul of Pakistan, his native country.
