Laval University and Ahmed Abassi

Ahmed Abassi: Ahmed Abassi, 27, who had been studying engineering at Laval University before his 2013 arrest in New York, pleaded guilty last month to less serious immigration charges, according to 660 News. But Abassis lawyers argued in sentencing documents that though Abassi expressed some radical ideas, he was actually resisting Esseghaier and A former Canadian resident who was arrested in connection with an alleged terror plot to attack a Via Rail train was sentenced Wednesday in New York to the 15 months he has already served after the case against him fizzled. The Tunisian national was originally accused of plotting to organize a U.S-based terrorism cell and prosecutors alleged he radicalized Chiheb Esseghaier, a fellow Tunisian national who was doing doctoral research on nanosensors in Quebec.
