Niagara Falls man accused of making, possessing explosives

A 21-year-old Niagara Falls man was arrested for allegedly making and possessing explosives.


Niagara Regional Police said officers were called to a home in the area of Beaver Glen and Brookside Drs. on Wednesday around the noon hour for the possible presence of a suspicious device.

“During the initial search of the home, officers located multiple devices of a concerning nature,” police said in a news release.

“Out of abundance of caution, officers evacuated nearby homes and the NRPS Explosive Disposal Unit (EDU) was called to the scene.”

The devices were examined and then removed to a safe location for further assessment, cops said.

Police determined the devices were improvised explosive devices in “varying stages of completeness.” The devices were eventually rendered safe by disposal unit officers.


Nearby residents were allowed to return to their homes at 3 p.m.

Police said officers executed a search warrant Thursday at the home and arrested a man.


Taha Sleiman, 21, is charged with make, possess, care, and control of explosive device, and unlawful possession of explosives.

Sleiman was held for a bail hearing on Friday in St. Catharines.

The incident remains under investigation, police added.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 905-688-4111, dial option 3, ext. 1009768 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Terror plots, now bomb arrests — Canada has a problem
The last few months have been one worrisome incident after another.

Taha Sleiman was arrested Thursday on a sleepy, tree-lined street in Niagara Falls. The houses along Beaver Glen Drive in the west end of this border town are typical suburban homes that typically sell in the $750,000 to $1-million range.


This is not where you would expect to find someone making bombs, but that is what Sleiman is now charged with.

A news release from Niagara Regional Police announced that the 21-year-old is facing one charge of “make, possess, care, and control of explosive device” and one charge of “unlawful possession of explosives.”

If convicted, Sleiman could face up to 14 years in jail for the offences, but he’s lucky he’s not facing life in prison, which would have been the case with a different charge by police.

So far, Niagara police are not saying much about this case, calling it an ongoing investigation, but many are calling this another instance of a terrorist plot being thwarted in Canada.

Given the past few months, making that assumption doesn’t require a big leap of faith. It’s doubtful that Sleiman is facing charges of making improvised explosive devices because he was planning on robbing a bank.


The announcement of his arrest on Friday came as the U.S. Justice Department was announcing the arrest of a Pakistani national who had been living in Canada but was travelling to New York state to kill as many Jews as possible in attacks on or around Oct. 7.

Whether Sleiman’s case is terrorism-related isn’t known, but what is clear is that Canada currently has a terrorism problem.


Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, also known as Shahzeb Jadoon, is a 20-year-old non-resident who interacted with undercover agents in the United States during an alleged attempt to plan a terror attack in Brooklyn. According to documents filed in a New York court, Khan conspired to obtain an AR-15 and other firearms plus ammunition to carry out his attack, which he said he would do in the name of ISIS.


The charging documents also allege that Khan chose New York City because he said it has the “largest Jewish population In america,” that the attack “could rack up easily a lot of jews” and that “we are going to nyc to slaughter them.”

Thankfully, even though he was living in Toronto, he didn’t think to carry out his attack against the city’s significant Jewish community.

It was just five weeks earlier that the RCMP announced the arrests of 62-year-old Ahmed Eldidi and his 26 year-old son Mostafa Eldidi. Ahmed Eldidi’s case created controversy after it was discovered that he came to Canada and was granted citizenship despite allegedly being the star of a 2015 ISIS torture video.

Their plan, according to police, was to carry out a mass casualty event, presumably aimed at Toronto’s Jewish community.


In July, we also saw Khaled Hussein, a 29-year-old Edmonton man, sentenced to five years in a British prison for being a member of a banned terrorist group. That sentencing on July 31 came just days after a fellow Albertan, 21-year-old Zachareah Adam Quraishi, was shot and killed in Israel trying to attack Israeli security forces near the Gaza border. Quraishi had travelled to Israel specifically to carry out his attack.

On top of these terror plots, attempts and convictions we have a problem with people who clearly support terrorist groups such as Hamas marching in our streets. We’ve had Jewish schools, synagogues and community centres shot at, firebombed and threatened across the country.

It was just two weeks ago that more than 100 Jewish institutions had bomb threats emailed to them.

Canada has a terrorism problem. The target is the Jewish community and, sadly, it looks as if there will have to be a successful attack before our political leaders decide to do something to address this.

The topic is refugees and migrants. You're flogging convicted felon Trump's "rapists and murderers" horse shit.

I'm reasonably sure you wouldn't much care if it'd been White guys. Norwegians, maybe. Convicted felon Trump likes them!

Wait for Oct 7th. Something big is being planned for the West or at least part of the West.

We are at war and our idiot leaders are sleepwalking through it. Russia, China and Iran have weaponized immigration against the West. And the morons in charge in the West are just sitting there patting themselves on their backs for being so welcoming and tolerant. In fact both they and the islamists have proven my point. For years I have stated that multiculturalism is NOT a strength, it's an easily exploitable weakness.

Violent immigrant gangs leave streets awash in blood

Author of the article:Brad Hunter
Published Sep 08, 2024 • Last updated 1 day ago • 4 minute read

Ridouan Taghi literally and figuratively took a 9-mm handgun and blew the brains out of Europe’s famously liberal justice system.


The Morrocan gangster — who immigrated to Holland as a kid — has been called the continent’s “most feared drug lord,” leaving a trail of corpses on the charming cobblestone streets.

In March, Taghi, 46, was caged for life in a trial that saw security, jurors and other players masked for their safety. He was tried in a heavily guarded warehouse.

No wonder.


Taghi’s business maxim? “If you talk, you die.”

It wasn’t just rival mobsters he ordered iced but their brothers, sisters, lawyers and a journalist.

“We have had murders before. What’s new about Taghi is that he also targets individuals who are not part of the criminal underworld,” criminologist Robby Roks told the Wall Street Journal.

***

Violent crime, driven by a tidal wave of immigration, has spread like cancer through Europe.


Sweden — where things have become so dire the military has been called in — has the highest gun homicide rate on the continent; an open-air cannabis market in Denmark has been shuttered because criminal gangs took over; and, in Belgium, brazen gangbangers attempted to steal back cocaine seized by cops and customs.

But in Holland, it was Taghi’s show. His gang was named the ‘Mocro-maffia’ because members were mostly Moroccan and Antillean immigrants.

I
“He has managed to strike fear in the minds of people,” politician Ulysse Ellian told the Journal.

Taghi rose through the criminal underworld, smuggling eye-popping amounts of cocaine into Europe’s soft ports. He is reportedly a billionaire.

Prosecutors said Taghi was at the helm of a “well-oiled murder machine.” He was convicted of five counts of murder, with one victim a case of mistaken identity.


“Taghi was responsible for the mistake,” the judge said. “He decided who would be killed and spared no one. The amount of suffering Taghi caused to the victims and their loved ones is barely imaginable.”

Extreme violence was Taghi’s main weapon, the court heard. Enemies — real and perceived — and snitches lived in terror. Once, Taghi’s lieutenants placed a severed head outside the clubhouse of an underworld rival.


“By doing so, he prevented people from cooperating with the police. Such terror has a disruptive effect on society,” the judge said.

In a nod to Taghi’s bloodlust, the courts asked the media not to identify the adjudicators.

***

Taghi’s long tenure atop the Dutch criminal milieu ended when he was arrested in Dubai in 2019. He was extradited home to finally face justice in a slew of murders.


But even behind the concrete walls of an ultra-secure prison, he continued to run his empire of vice. Cops say the crime kingpin issued a steady stream of missives to his lieutenants on the outside.


Taghi pleaded not guilty, and lawyers for the underworld czar and his cohorts demanded an acquittal. The trial was unfair, the accused had already been convicted in the court of public opinion.

That was after witnesses were getting their tickets punched one way: To the Morgue.

***

A recent report by Europol — the EU’s law enforcement arm — said several countries are suffering from “unprecedented levels of drug market-related violence, including killings, torture, kidnappings and intimidation.”

The report also offered the sobering news there are more than 800 extremely violent criminal gangs with more than 25,000 members operating in the EU. Violent crime is now considered a threat on par with terrorism.


“Violence is destabilizing society and the social contract we have known,” Europol spokesperson Claire Georges told the Journal, adding violent incidents once were confined to transportation hubs.


“Now, violence is increasingly spilling into the streets with the risk of civilians being hurt.”

***

Like Miami, New York and Los Angeles in the past, the cocaine flooding into Europe from bumper crops in Colombia sparked the bloodshed. In 2019, more blow was seized in Europe than in North America.

Holland was a primo candidate for narcos looking to grow the business, and ruthless hustlers like Taghi made superb branch managers. And his homicidal bent was up to the task.

The killing began in 2015 when he ordered the murder of a spy shop owner who had given cops his records. A blogger who named him was clipped outside an Amsterdam sex club.


And the hits kept coming. Even veteran detectives were shocked to discover a shipping container transformed into a sound-proof torture chamber, complete with pliers, blowtorches — and a dentist’s chair with shackles.


When he was arrested, investigators discovered photos on his Blackberry of a woman being tortured.

Now, some Dutch politicians are hoping to go the route of the notorious supermax prison in Colorado that holds drug baron El Chapo, a slew of serial killers and terrorists.

They want the worst of the worst, forever cut off from the world: Two phone calls and one visit a month.

If there is a sea change to Western Europe’s famed liberalism, Taghi and others like him will be the reason, along with the naivete of the countries themselves.
