(CBC) The alleged organizer of a fatal Mississauga restaurant shooting in 2021 made a man pledge allegiance to ISIS before he told him he ordered two others to “slaughter” the victims, court heard Tuesday.
Mikail Aras testified in Superior Court in Brampton that he saw accused gunman Anand Nath at a Mississauga warehouse before and after the May 29, 2021, shooting at Chicken Land that left 25-year-old Naim Akl dead, and four members of his family injured.
Aras said Nath had been staying with him for at least a week before the shooting happened. He testified Nath asked him to join the others at the warehouse two days after the incident to find out about their activities.
“They asked me to get my hand out for some allegiance to Ibrahim al-Hashimi. I later found out that that was some ISIS leader,” Aras told the 14-member jury.
