He went to Afghanistan in 1999 and received combat training and experience there with the former Taliban government. He authored a suicide letter stating his intention to become a martyr for jihad and also appeared in a well-known martyrdom video that was later found in the house of a leader of the al-Qaida terrorist group in 2001.
He returned to Canada in 2001 and consorted with extremists there on methods of joining the jihad. He left Canada, but authorities are concerned that he may attempt to return there or to the U.S. to plan or take part in a terrorist attack.
