Raed Jaser: Jaser

Raed Jaser Dept: OTTAWA -- Fraud-related convictions almost led to the deportation of one of the men charged in an alleged plot to attack a Via Rail passenger train, according to Winnipeg Free Press. Jaser, 35, of Toronto, and Chiheb Esseghaier, 30, of Montreal, face criminal charges in what the RCMP say was a terrorist plot guided by al-Qaida in Iran and Raed Jaser, in a court appearance this week, had allegedly worked illegally. Immigration documents show federal authorities wanted to deport Raed Jaser in 2004 -- something that proved difficult because he was a stateless Palestinian. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
