Deadly export: Canadians responsible for hundreds of terrorism deaths and injuries overseas
Canadian terrorists are responsible for significant loss of life in other countries, but experts said that was often overlooked in the public debate about Canadian extremism.

Canadian terrorists have killed and injured more than 300 in other countries since 2012, according to figures compiled by Global News that document the victims of so-called extremist travellers.
Fatal attacks in Algeria, Bangladesh, Bulgaria, Iraq, Russia, Somalia and Syria were attributed to Canadians during that time. An attack in Michigan resulted in no deaths but seriously injured a police officer.
Citizens of 19 countries were killed in attacks involving Canadian perpetrators, including locals and British, Colombian, French, Indian, Israeli, Italian, Filipino, Japanese, Malaysian, Norwegian, Romanian and U.S. nationals.
The majority of killings were claimed by the so-called Islamic State, while others were the work of Al Qaeda affiliates and Hezbollah, but attacks by Al Qaeda-aligned groups were more deadly.
The figures are an attempt to tally overseas terrorism casualties attributed to Canadians from the time that numbers of extremist travellers began to spike in 2012 until the territorial defeat of ISIS last month.
Global News compiled the data from the Global Terrorism Database, Canadian Terrorism Incident Database, government documents, interviews, news reports and releases by terrorist groups. Included were attacks in which Canadians were direct participants or accomplices.
A total of 127 victims reportedly died in the attacks, and 195 were injured. Fifty-five attackers also died.
Four of the attacks killed more than a dozen victims and were worse than any mass murder in Canada since the 1985 Air Indian bombings by Sikh extremists. Injuries included stab wounds, burns and cuts caused by flying glass.
“While Canadians are right to think that terrorism generally happens less in our country, we also need to keep in mind that we export a lot of terrorism in different forms all over the world,” said Toronto-based terrorism researcher Prof. Amarnath Amarasingam.
Canadians have long been active in foreign terrorist groups, but their numbers increased sharply following the start of the Syrian conflict. In 2013 alone, overseas attacks in which Canadians played key roles killed 90 and wounded 98.
A February 2014 RCMP document noted the “growing” participation of Canadians in foreign conflicts and acts of terrorism and called preventing “high-risk individuals” from leaving the country a “challenging but important task.”
The government subsequently ramped up efforts against extremist travellers — placing them on the no-fly list, arresting them at airports, seizing their passports and having them intercepted as they transited through Turkey.
But some were still able to find their way to foreign terrorist groups.
“Unless there is some legitimate reason to prevent people from traveling to conflict zones, the rights of mobility contained in Section 6 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms apply,” the RCMP wrote in “Foreign Fighters: Preventing the Security Threat in Canada and Abroad.”
WATCH: Former CSIS analyst discusses the priorities of security agencies and preventing terrorists from leaving CanadaFormer Canadian Security Intelligence Service analyst Phil Gurski said government agencies struggled at times to come up with solid evidence proving that someone preparing to travel intended to participate in terrorism.
“We may know that you’re completely radicalized and that you’re possibly open to the idea of taking part in an attack but we don’t necessarily know your intent,” said the former intelligence official.
Another challenge is that those prevented from travelling may conduct attacks in Canada instead. In 2014, such attacks left two dead, and in 2016, a suicide bomber was killed and his cab driver injured.
“So it’s almost like you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t,” Gurski added.
Meanwhile, the foreign conflicts that have attracted Canadian extremists remain mostly unresolved, and Al Qaeda and ISIS affiliates continue to operate from West Africa to Southeast Asia.
As a result, governments need to be cautious about reducing their focus on Islamist extremism as they tackle the emerging threat of right-wing extremism, Gurski said.
Many of the Canadians who went abroad ended up as terrorist combatants whose killings were rarely publicized and were therefore difficult to track.
A few held senior positions and were likely responsible for deaths — notably Fawzi Ayoub, a former Toronto convenience store worker who was a Hezbollah commander in Syria, and Abu Bakr Kanadi, who led an English-speaking ISIS faction known as the Anwar al-Awlaki Brigade.
Following his capture in Syria in January, Mohammed Khalifa of Toronto admitted to fighting with ISIS and narrating propaganda videos that showed the mass executions of at least 10 prisoners.
Another Canadian, who went by Abu Huzayfah, returned to Toronto and told a reporter he had executed two prisoners while serving in the ISIS religious police in Manbij, Syria.
But Global News could not verify the alleged killings mentioned above and did not include them in its calculations.
While the casualty figures suggest Canadian terrorists are responsible for significant bloodshed in other countries, experts said that was often overlooked in public debate about national security.
“Our guys and girls have caused a lot of harm abroad, and this is something we never really factor into our analysis of Canadian terrorism, at least in terms of public awareness of the issue,” said Amarasingam, senior research fellow at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue.
The grief Canadians have caused abroad “should also make us think twice about arguing against the repatriation of captured foreign fighters,” he said.
The deadliest attack since 2012 was by a faction that included Xristos Katsiroubas and Ali Medlej, high school friends from London, Ont., who “were introduced to a radical form of Sunni Islam through associates,” according to the transcript of a British coroner’s inquest.
After leaving Canada in 2011, they joined up with Algerian terrorist leader Mokhtar Belmokhtar, formerly a leading figure in Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb who formed his own splinter group and, in December 2012, announced his intention to target western interests.
The In Amenas gas plant was easy prey: jointly owned by BP and Statoil, it was an inadequately defended facility close to the Libyan border with 800 workers, many of them foreigners.
According to witnesses, Katsiroubas was a “clear leader” of the terrorists who stormed the plant early on Jan. 16, 2013. He identified the foreign nationals, held them captive with explosives and relayed the group’s demands for the release of prisoners held by the U.S. and Algeria.
Forty people from 10 countries lost their lives during the four-day siege, and 29 of the terrorists died when Algerian forces retook the compound. The RCMP later identified Katsiroubas and Medlej among the bodies.
Ten months later, the worst known suicide bombing by a Canadian occurred when Salman Ashrafi, a former Alberta oil industry analyst, and another attacker detonated explosive-filled vehicles in Tarmiyah, Iraq.
The target was the headquarters of the Iraqi Army’s 22nd Brigade. ISIS said 46 were killed. The Iraqi embassy in Ottawa said 12 died. Global News counted 16 dead in its calculation, which was the number reported by the Global Terrorism Database.
Iraqi Ambassador Abdul Kareem Kaab said Iraq had been the victim of scores of such attacks and a “large number” were carried out by foreign nationals.
“Many of those terrorists are individuals who are known to the security authorities in their homeland as dangerous fanatics,” said the Ottawa-based diplomat. “The duty of the governments of those countries is to prevent those terrorists from travelling.”
Lt. Jeff Neville, an officer at the Flint, Mich., airport, was wounded when he was attacked by Canadian Amor Ftouhi.The most recent documented attack abroad was in Flint, Mich. After writing a letter to his wife saying he loved jihad more than he loved her, Amor Ftouhi left Montreal and tried unsuccessfully to buy an assault rifle at a U.S. gun show.
Armed instead with a knife, he entered Bishop International Airport on June 21, 2017 and stabbed an airport officer, Lt. Jeff Neville, in the neck. Once in custody, Ftouhi spoke about Syria and Iraq and called the United States a “bastard nation.” Neville survived.
“We shouldn’t be exporting our problem,” said Gurski, the author of the book Western Foreign Fighters. “The onus is on us to prevent it, whether it’s through passport seizure or peace bonds or charges.”
“If we’re aware of it we should stop it.”

Ok Marc, I mean no offense, but I see this a lot with you and I just have to ask. Are there two of you, because it’s coming across like there is either two of you or like a split personality thing. It could be that rather than scroll back to the top, you just respond to yourself with additional thoughts, but it is definitely different.

In every WESTERN country where Muslims are in the minority, they are obsessed with minority rights.
In every ISLAMIC country with a Muslim majority, …there are no minority rights!
islam is NOT a religion of peace, a race nor one of peace!!
islam is a sick and twisted terrorist ideology that is completely incompatible with western civilization!!
Deport all muslims, CITIZENS OR NOT, from the west at once!!
Ban all muslims from traveling to the west, …FOREVER
Implement muslim control, NOT gun control.
Defending your person, your family, your country from attack and invasion from those forcing a violent, terrorist, genocidal ideology on western civilization…is …not … islamophobia ….or racist. ….It is just common sense.
The West does NOT need to allow thousands of backward, 7th century, unvetted and violent muslim savages into our countries that have ‘enshrined’ sexual slavery, rape, forced conversion, assault, murder and genocide in their FAKE religion!

What is being done and what can be done to stop these blood thirsty terrorists?
Where in Canada do they get their education and physical and military training?
Who are their teachers and instructors? Where do they teach and spread their hatred?
Remember people like this often start their educations from early childhood.

Parents and the local mosque provide the hate training.
If they have the means they will send them to a private Muslim school.
I would bet they have isolated areas in Canada where they can train.
We have them in the U.S….

As long as the myth that integration is attainable with these people is perpetuated, places like Canada will continue to deteriorate, and that myth remains alive and well.
I’m sure Canada is regarded as a sweet plum to Islam, perhaps why there are so few home terror incidents ; she sits on one of the world’s longest irregulated border with her southern neighbor, America. There’s been more than once incident that escaped Canadian security forces and only through outside agencies did they become alerted and intervened. That guy in the cab where the cabbie was injured, was literally on his way with explosives to his intended target when security nabbed him. He would have been successful had he moved minutes before hand, it was that close.
Trudeau has the gall to call these returning fighters, “foreign travelers” (a tactic right out of Soros’ playbook from his days helping his pappy betray fellow Jews to the Nazis, “Those are summer camps for the whole family”) , and compares them to regular immigrants from Canada’s past. He is utterly despicable ; so nice to see him squirming like a worm on a hook over this latest scandal of his own doing.

A taste of our NWO future: Marxist religions / movements / organisations “rights” only implemented for chaos and destruction of The West; once The West is destroyed everybody will be forced to live under ChiCom rules, i.e. the “China Model” will be forced upon everybody.
The NWO are busy testing the waters in Quebec.

Canada is the land of the bizarre Frenchmen. Look at what is happening in France to understand Canada and it’s “other” boy king mama boy – Truedodo
From Macaroni to Truedodo. Both have “mommy” hangups and seem to be the epitome of the FATHERLESS MORON.
We had our own here most recently in the idiot Nerogro who went around calling himself “President” and all the white men fawning him so they wouldn’t be called a WAYCIST.

Canada has become a Jihadi hideout, a sanctuary country for the jihadis. If the Canadians can’t control them then perhaps we will have to intervene and do it for them! These aren’t the Canadians of 1778 or 1812.I’ve met too many of them and they are a colony of wimps. Those that aren’t will welcome the intervention..

“Travel restrictions, passport seizures, ” no-fly lists?” Come on. These guys can get around all of that with fake identities. They are confirmed, motivated murderers. Why, at the very least are they not interned? We are talking about psychopathic murderers, not people who have “rights.”They gave that up when they embarked on jihad. The truth is people like us have been complaining about these bastards for 1450 years. It’s Time to finally do something about it!
