Two Convicted In Canada VIA Rail Terror Plot Case Chiheb Esseghaier, one of two suspects accused of plotting with al-Qaida in Iran to derail a train in Canada, arrives at Buttonville Airport just north of Toronto 23 April 2013 Chiheb Esseghaier said he only wanted to be judged by the Koran

Two Canadian men accused of plotting to attack a passenger train going from New York to Toronto have been found guilty on multiple terror charges.

Raed Jaser and Chiheb Esseghaier were arrested in 2013 after a surveillance and undercover operation.

Jurors spent 10 days in deliberations before returning guilty verdicts in eight out of nine charges.

Prosecutors alleged the two men spent months plotting to kill as many people as possible on the VIA rail route.

Esseghaeir - who served as his own defence - told the court he only wanted to be judged by the Koran.

Actually, it's an Amtrak train called the Maple Leaf. When it crosses into Canada at Niagara Falls, it becomes a VIA-operated train into Toronto.

What hardware does it use?

"Esseghaeir - who served as his own defence - told the court he only wanted to be judged by the Koran."

TFB Hadji. You're in Canada now. Go back to that f*cking third world hellhole you came from, after you serve your time, and be judged in any way you want.

Esseghaier wanted to be judged by the koran... Then he shouldn’t have left his God forsaken 3rd world hellhole!

Unfortunately, we no longer have the death penalty in Canada for either of these two terrorists. Hopefully, his cell has a toilet that faces away from Mecca so that every time he does #2, he ‘honours’ Mecca with it. Perhaps the prison staff can arrange for bacon six times a week, hot dogs, pork roast and pork chops for his protein. For his education and edification, a daily Bible lesson would be nice.

Unfortunately, he will be treated like royalty in prison. Too bad.

The Maple Leaf uses Amtrak's rolling stock, which is unfortunate. VIA's rolling stock is of better quality and is better maintained. VIA's biggest drawback is that the unions have a greater stranglehold on operations than on Amtrak.

Pine boxes would be good.
