Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 19 Aug, 2014 08:26 AM
    OTTAWA - A verdict is expected today in the case of a man charged with conspiring to facilitate terrorism.
     
    Khurram Syed Sher, who once auditioned as a singer on the Canadian Idol TV show, was charged in August 2010.
     
    During his trial, federal lawyers said the 32-year-old man had joined a group dedicated to supporting "violent jihad" by whatever means possible.
     
    Sher — a doctor of pathology from London, Ont. — pleaded not guilty.
     
    His lawyer said there was no evidence his client signed on to a purported conspiracy to support violent jihad.
