(CBC) A report examining the risk posed by a Calgary man who claimed to be a member of ISIS and appeared to be planning to kill gay people in the city was described by a judge as “troubling.”
Zakarya Hussein, 20, pleaded guilty in December to facilitating terrorist activity.
A sentencing hearing was supposed to take place Thursday but was delayed because a forensic assessment report was received by lawyers and the judge only in the last day or two.
Justice Harry Van Harten agreed to the adjournment but first noted the risk assessment conducted on Hussein by a psychiatrist was “kind of troubling.”
“We’re talking about whether he presents a real danger to the public,” said Van Harten.
