(Global News) A man who threatened to bomb all of Toronto’s synagogues and “kill as many Jews as possible” has been convicted of two criminal offences, Global News has learned.
On March 4, 2024, Waisuddin Akbari, the owner of a shawarma shop north of Toronto, told a witness he was planning a suicide mission, according to court documents.
“I’m going to plant a bomb in every synagogue in Toronto and blow them up to kill as many Jews as possible,” Akbari told the witness at a car dealership north of Toronto.
“I’ll make sure those attacks are filmed and posted online so the world can see what I’ve done,” the 42-year-old added, according to the court materials on the case.
