Terror suspect 'wanted to behead Canada's PM' The Scotsman ^ \| June 7, 2006 \| BETH DUFF-BROWN ONE of 17 suspects accused of planning to blow up Canadian targets in a terrorist plot is also accused of indicating that he wanted to behead Stephen Harper, the prime minister of Canada, his lawyer said yesterday. The Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton, a small city just west of Toronto, said the men arrested over the weekend were charged with participating in a terrorist group. Other charges include importing weapons and planning a bombing. "There's an allegation, apparently, that my client personally indicated that he wanted to behead the prime minister," said Gary Batasar, a lawyer for Steven Vikash Chand. "My client has said nothing about that." The charges also allege that Chand plotted to storm the Canadian parliament, take politicians hostage and demand the release of Muslim prisoners. A Muslim leader who knew the oldest suspect, Qayyum Abdul Jamal, 43, said his sermons at a mosque were "filled with hate" against Canada. Although Canadian and United States officials have said there was no indication the purported terror group had targets outside Ontario, Mike McDonell, the deputy commissioner for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, said there were "foreign connections". A US official said police were looking for connections between those accused in Canada and suspected Islamic militants being held in America, Britain, Bangladesh, Bosnia, Denmark and Sweden. American authorities have established that two men from the state of Georgia charged this year in a terrorism case had been in contact with some of the Canadian suspects via computer. Canadian police say there is no evidence the suspect group had ties to al-Qaeda, but describe its members as sympathetic to jihadist ideology. Officials are concerned that many of the 17 suspects were aged about 20 and had been radicalised in a short time. Each is charged with one count of participating in a terrorist group. Fahim Ahmad, 21, Mohammed Dirie, 22, and Yasim Abdi Mohamed, 24, also are charged with importing weapons and ammunition for the purpose of terrorist activity. Nine face charges of receiving training from a terrorist group, while four are charged with providing training. Six also are charged with intending to cause an explosion that could cause serious bodily harm or death. No information was released on the five young males arrested due to Canadian privacy laws that protect minors. Officials announced on Saturday that the suspects were arrested after the group acquired three tons of ammonium nitrate, which can be mixed with fuel oil to make a powerful explosive. Some people who know the suspects said they were astonished by the arrests. But Faheem Bukhari, a director of the Mississauga Muslim Community Centre, said Jamal had taken to preaching intolerance to young Muslims at a mosque in Mississauga, near Toronto, where six of the suspects lived. "People around him knew he was very extreme," Mr Bukhari said, adding that Jamal once told the audience that "the Canadian forces were going to Afghanistan to rape women". Canada has about 2,300 soldiers in Afghanistan to bolster Afghan reconstruction and combat Taleban militants.

Sex offender held in student's slaying DNA links suspect to Clemson junior killed in apartment Wednesday, June 7, 2006; Posted: 4:46 a.m. EDT (08:46 GMT) GREENVILLE, South Carolina (AP) -- A registered sex offender wanted in the death of a Clemson University student who was strangled with her bikini top was captured late Tuesday in Tennessee, officials said. Jerry Buck Inman, who was wanted on arrest warrants for murder, rape and kidnapping, was taken into custody without resistance during a traffic stop about a mile from his parents' home in Dandridge, Tennessee, Sheriff David Davenport said. Inman was being taken to the county jail. No other details of his arrest were immediately released. Inman's DNA matched samples taken from Tiffany Marie Souers' apartment, said Robert Stewart, division chief of the South Carolina State Law Enforcement. (Watch how investigators tied Inman to the scene -- 1:17) The body of the 20-year-old civil engineering junior from Ladue, Missouri, was discovered May 26 in her off-campus apartment, wearing only a bra with the bikini top still around her neck. Prosecutor Bob Ariail also said she was bound by her wrists and neck, which led to the kidnapping charge. Souers' brother said he was smiling from ear-to-ear when he learned Inman had been arrested. "I gave my mom a hug and she said she felt happy for the first time in a while," 16-year-old Trevor Souers said. "I was just really relieved." Inman, a 35-year-old construction worker, was registered as a sex offender in Florida in September after he was released from prison for kidnapping and sexual battery. He also was registered in North Carolina. His last address is listed as Dandridge, Tennessee. His mother, Vera McArthur, told The Greenville News earlier Tuesday that her son is bipolar and often suicidal, and had no idea South Carolina authorities were looking for him. She said he had been doing construction work in Tennessee and hasn't been in South Carolina recently as far as she knows. "He just takes off and is gone a couple of days," McArthur told the newspaper. Souers' father was impressed with how quickly authorities were able to capture Inman after they matched his DNA, which was announced Tuesday. "The speed was incredible," Jim Souers said. The slaying shook the Clemson community. Tears began streaming down the face of Ashley Ellis, a 20-year-old business student, when she saw Inman's picture on TV. "It could have been any one of us," Ellis said. "There hasn't been one night I haven't had a nightmare."
