BRAMPTON, Ont. (CP) - Another of the 17 terror suspects arrested on June 2 has been denied bail.
Nineteen-year-old Saad Khalid is charged with knowingly participating in a terrorist group, receiving training for activity in a terrorist group, and for having the intent to build and detonate an explosive device.
Due to a sweeping publication ban, evidence brought before the court at the bail hearing cannot be reported.
Khalid's lawyer, Paul Burstein, said outside court that his client and his family are extremely disappointed by the news.
Justice of the peace Hilda Weiss' decision to deny Khalid bail comes days after one of his alleged co-conspirators, who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was released on bail.
The youth was released last Friday under what his lawyer called "very strict conditions."
The young man, who was 17 at the time of the alleged offences, is accused of participating in a terrorist group and receiving training for terrorist purposes.
Twelve men and five youth were arrested and charged with participating in a terrorist group and other terrorist-related offences.
