Another real shame.
A member of the ‘Toronto 18’ terror plot has died fighting in Syria, the Star has confirmed.
A government source, as well as CSIS counter-terrorism informant Mubin Shaikh, told the Star that Ali Mohamed Dirie died earlier this month.
Shaikh said a family member announced Dirie’s death at a local mosque.
Dirie was convicted in the ‘Toronto 18’ plot to attack Canadian institutions and was sentenced to seven years in prison in 2009.
With credit for time-served, Dirie was released in 2011.
More to come.
