(Vancouver Sun) A man arrested after a bus passenger was seriously injured in a knife attack in Surrey on Saturday now faces four terrorism charges.
The charges of “committing an offence for the benefit of a terrorist organization” — specifically the Islamic State — were sworn against Abdul Aziz Kawam on Monday. He also made an appearance in Surrey provincial court.
Kawam, born in 1995, was already facing four other charges, laid Saturday after a man had his throat slashed while on a bus travelling on Fraser Highway at 156th Street at about 9:30 a.m. Another person had a knife held to his throat at a bus stop about four blocks away.
