Accused Terrorist Said He'd Die For Man He Thought Was A High-ranking Terrorist

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 27 Apr, 2015 12:58 PM
    VANCOUVER — A B.C. Supreme Court has heard recordings of an accused terrorist begging a man to supply plastic explosives so he could fight the infidels and non-believers.
     
    The jury in John Nuttall's trial heard him explaining on the recording to an officer  — who was posing as a high-ranking terrorist — why he wanted the C4 explosive material.
     
    Nuttall and his wife Amanda Korody are on trial for allegedly plotting to blow up the provincial legislature on Canada Day two years ago.
     
    Nuttall is also heard in the recording telling that undercover officer that he loved and would die for the man he believes is an Arab businessman, but was really a key officer in an elaborate RCMP sting operation.
     
    Nuttall believed this businessman, whose identity cannot be revealed, was helping him with his alleged terrorist plot and referred to him often using the Arabic words for brother and beloved.
     
    Both Nuttall and Korody have pleaded not guilty to four terrorism-related charges.
