ROOFTOP snipers, scores of police and concrete barriers protected a downtown Ottawa courthouse today, as the trial got underway for the first defendant charged under Canada's Anti-Terrorism Act. Mohammed Momin Khawaja, 29, faces seven criminal charges of conspiracy to commit terrorist acts in Britain, including developing bomb detonators, possession of explosives, financing terrorism, and training as a terrorist.
The Ottawa software developer of Pakistani descent was arrested in March 2004, in connection with a foiled bomb plot against several British targets, including a popular London nightclub, a shopping mall and a gas network. Today, he pleaded not guilty to the charges. "Given the nature of the charges Mr Khawaja is facing, we thought it would be prudent to boost security," Ottawa police inspector Joan McKenna said.
