(Global News) The government’s national security review agency has dismissed a complaint alleging the RCMP entrapped a Canadian imprisoned in the United States for plotting ISIS attacks.
The National Security and Intelligence Review Agency found the RCMP had conducted a “good faith investigation” into Abdulrahman El Bahnasawy, a Toronto-area resident.
The RCMP probe was based on “credible evidence of an existing willingness by Mr. El Bahnasawy to commit acts of violence,” the agency wrote in its report, obtained by Global News.
“I have found no evidence on the record before me of entrapment.”
But the agency said its review of the matter remained incomplete because the RCMP had refused to disclose legal advice it received during its investigation.
