An Ontario Superior Court judge acquitted London, Ont. pathologist Khurram Sher of a terrorism charge after deciding that Sher had not shown the requisite intent to join a terrorist group. One of Sher’s alleged co-conspirators, Misbahuddin Ahmed, was found guilty of terrorism charges in July; authorities have banned publication of the identity of the third alleged co-conspirator, said to be the ringleader. During a seven-month RCMP investigation, authorities intercepted thousands of communications between the three men showing their plan to raise money for jihad and make and use explosives in Canada; over 56 circuit boards for detonating remotely-controlled bombs were found at the home of one of the conspirators.
