(Jonathan Hayward/ Canadian Press) INDEPTH: Mohammad Momin Khawajacbc.ca Mohammad Momin Khawaja, 25, a resident of the Ottawa suburb of Orleans and a computer programmer for the federal Department of Foreign Affairs, was the first man charged under Canada's anti-terrorism act when he was arrested in Ottawa in March 2004. Khawaja, who was born and educated in Canada, is charged with participating in the activities of a British terrorist group and facilitating a terrorist activity. RELATED: The Fifth Estate: CHRONOLOGY OF MOHAMMAD MOMIN KHAWAJAcbc.ca The police raid on his house was part of a British-Canadian investigation in which nine men of Pakistani heritage were arrested. Khawaja was the only person arrested in Canada. Khawaja was subsequently flown to England where he has been on trial for two months with six others. The British court was told Monday that Khawaja flew to England in February 2004, where he allegedly met two of his co-accused and discussed the making of a huge bomb. The Crown played audio tapes recorded by British police that purport to show that Khawaja showed his co-accused how to make a detonator for a remote bomb. Khawaja reportedly said that he had built a detonator that looked like a mobile telephone with a transmitter and up to five receivers. "If we can get five volts, it's not a problem," he allegedly said. "So the receiver, it basically gets the signal when you press the button on the transmitter. If you have detonator [and] wires hooked up. That will send the charge down the line to whatever. I think at one to two kilometres, you should be fine." Khawaja reportedly went on to say that the mobile telephone uses an FM signal that would be next to impossible for police to block. "They use a lot of it themselves," he reportedly said. Khawaja's trial is expected to last for several more months.
