Abdelhaleem, 34, and 17 others were charged following a 2006 police sting in which members of the group tried to buy what they thought was three tons of explosives from undercover police officers.

Police say the group planned to bomb Toronto landmarks including the Toronto Stock Exchange and the CN Tower, as well as a nearby military base, in a plot similar to the July 2005 London Underground bombings.
