Terrorist mastermind of plot to bomb Toronto to spend at least 6 years in prison

(CP) – 1 hour ago

BRAMPTON, Ont. — The "directing mind" of a terrorist bomb plot that a judge said would have killed many people and perhaps changed the lives of all Canadians forever will spend at least the next six years in prison.

Zakaria Amara, 24, a co-leader of the Toronto 18 plot to set off bombs outside the CSIS and Toronto Stock Exchange buildings in downtown Toronto and at a military base in Ontario, pleaded guilty in October and was sentenced today.

Amara will be under supervision for life but will be eligible to seek parole in 2016.

Ontario Superior Court Justice Bruce Durno said Amara's "spine-chilling" plot would have been "the most horrific crime Canada has ever seen."

You have got to be kidding me, only 6 years????? and then they will keep a watch on him. What if they lose him? Are they going to monitor his phone and email and letters? Such terrorists need to be deported back to wherever they came from.
