The NEFA Foundation has obtained exclusive footage of a would-be ‘terrorist training camp’ that took place in a rural section of Canada in 2006.
The camp, directed by CSIS confidential informant Mubin Shaikh, included members of the alleged “Toronto 18” terror cell, who are accused of conspiring to carry out a large-scale terrorist attack in southern Ontario, including plans for truck bombings and storming local buildings such as the Canadian Parliament and the headquarters of the CSIS.
The video features footage of the men receiving instruction on the use of handguns, sniper tactics, and basic calisthenics.
Crudely edited by its creators to include nasheed music, the video also shows the men practicing evasive driving maneuvers at night in an abandoned parking lot.
The video, “shows members of the Toronto 18 carrying out alleged terrorist training exercises,” says the Toronto Star.
It was posted on the US NEFA site, “just days before a verdict is expected in the case of one of the men,” says the story, going on:
The video includes footage of the men in camouflage allegedly receiving instruction on the use of handguns and sniper tactics at a 12-day camp they attended in December 2005, near the town of Washago, Ont.
The two-and-a-half minute video is similar to others that have been shown during court proceedings for the 14 adults and four youths, who were charged in the summer of 2006 with belonging to a cell plotting an attack in Canada.
“The so-called Toronto 18 is now only 11,” says City News, continuing:
“Ten other men are also facing trial and their names can’t be printed under a publication ban.
“This is the first time a key Crown exhibit has been shown outside the courtroom. In the video, the only clearly identifiable face is that of police informant, Mubin Shaikh. A handgun and a paintball gun are the only weapons shown at the alleged terror camp.
“It also shows men hiking through the snowy woods with one of them hoisting up a black flag shouting “Allah.”
“The Crown alleges this video was made for recruitment purposes. The lawyer representing the suspect first to stand trial has said the alleged terror plot was a fantasy and nothing else.”
