(National Post) Shareef Abdelhaleem, one of the Toronto 18 terror plotters who tried to detonate large bombs in 2006, has been denied full parole despite his gregarious chat with parole board officials.
His day parole, living in a halfway house in Montreal, has been continued for six months.
“It was the opinion of the Board that the seriousness of your actions and their potentially devastating nature called for caution,” the Parole Board of Canada says in its decision, released late Wednesday afternoon.
“The Board concludes that you will present an undue risk to society and your release will not contribute to the protection of society by facilitating your reintegration into society as a law-abiding citizen on full parole.”
