OTTAWA, March 8 (UPI) -- A Canadian Security Intelligence Service official has revealed a naturalized Canadian citizen is affiliated with al-Qaida's Iraqi branch. | Another one? Or were the others just in the Afghan branch, I lost count. |
CSIS Director Jim Judd told a panel of Canadian lawmakers Abdul Jabbar is a leader of al-Qaida's Iraqi branch, the Toronto Star said Tuesday. | Canadians, not just cannon fodder anymore. I'm sure they're very proud. |
Judd, who gave no other information about Jabbar, went on Monday to outline an emerging and "surprising" threat from "second-generation Canadians" who sympathize with "homeland" causes and are getting caught up in terrorist activities. He said "the type of persons attracted to terrorist networks is changing in worrisome ways." |
