Making terror charges stick in Surrey, B.C. bus attack not easy, expert says
Abdul Aziz Kawam was initially facing attempted murder, assault and weapons charges for allegedly slashing a passenger in the throat on a transit bus Saturday morning.However, the B.C. RCMP’s Integrated National Security Enforcement Team became involved on Sunday and prosecutors subsequently added four counts of terrorism to the charge sheet.
“Under the Criminal Code, an act of terrorism has to be carried out for ideological, political or religious reasons. That’s often very very difficult to prove beyond a reasonable doubt.” Gurski pointed to the 2017 attack in Edmonton which saw a police officer stabbed and several people run over with a U-Haul vehicle. Police found an Islamic State flag in the front seat of the vehicle, and police maintain that the attack was terrorism.However, attacker Abdulahi Hasan Sharif was ultimately charged with multiple counts of attempted murder, criminal flight causing bodily harm and dangerous driving.
