Man With Al-Qaida Ties Who Threatened to Bomb Subway Pleads Guilty in Montreal
The lawyer for a homeless man who once attended al-Qaida training camps says his client has pleaded guilty in Montreal to threatening to bomb public transit. Leonard Waxman says Mohamed Abdullah Warsame has also acknowledged having called a Passport Canada office from detention and threatening to blow it up. A joint statement of facts tabled in Quebec court says Warsame told a social worker at Montreal’s Old Brewery homeless shelter that he wanted to kill a million people by using bombs to blow up trains or subways.
