TORONTO The Toronto imam who first brought forward concerns about one of the suspects in the alleged al-Qaeda-linked train plot wants to remain anonymous, his lawyer said Tuesday.
Naseer Syed said the imam came to him more than a year ago about the suspects conduct.
It was enough of a concern and it passed a certain threshold than the imam felt comfortable with, he said.
The lawyer said he then notified the appropriate authorities. On Monday, the RCMP credited the imams tip with helping bring terrorism-related charges against Raed Jaser and Chiheb Esseghaier.

Canada Ping!
I can’t really say that I blame him.
I`m shocked, I tell you! Shocked!
Well knock me over..an Imam! Good on him!
If he wants to be anonymous I'd say they already revealed too much.
I'd say they've indirectly outed him.
Exactly, I was thinking the same thing!
Hmmm...
Mosque in Toronto
Can't be many of them
Suspect attended about one year ago
Narrows it down a lot
I suspect that Imam needs to disappear
If he wants to stay alive
Drone target....
Actually, US counter-terrorism agencies should do this a lot. That is, attribute terrorism busts to “information received” by anonymous Muslims who peach on the radicals.
Eventually start imagining the giving of rewards to them as well. “A concerned Imam who wishes to remain anonymous gave information leading to the apprehension of several individuals involved in a plot. For this he has been given a $10,000 reward.”
The Man is smart, he knows that the phrase honor killing means...
Need to start charging the imams at the mosques the lil jeehaids attend! Give em some skin in the game.
However, remember, taquiya.
An Imam ratted out a radical, huh?
My hunch tells me this is how they are hoping to keep the mosques from being attacked.
Not a bad hunch...this imam has a lawyer and the lawyer says he came to him a year ago about the suspect’s conduct? A year ago...he needed a lawyer about a man’s “conduct”? It does sound fishy, re-reading it.

Unfortunately there are a lot of mosques here.
