Canadian who became ‘voice of ISIS’ pleads guilty, admits he conducted executions

(Global News) A Toronto man known as the voice of ISIS pleaded guilty to terrorism on Friday, admitting in a U.S. court he executed two Syrian soldiers.

Mohammed Khalifa faces a possible life sentence after pleading guilty to providing material resources to a foreign terrorist organization.

In a statement, the U.S. Department of Justice said the 38-year-old Canadian had confessed to conducting executions for ISIS on two occasions.

The killings were shown in the ISIS propaganda videos Flames of War and Flames of War 2, which Khalifa narrated, according to the statement.

Also known as Abu Ridwan Al-Kanadi, Khalifa was captured in Syria in 2019, but the Canadian government has refused to repatriate Canadian ISIS members to stand trial.
