Canadian terrorist who burst into military recruitment service and stabbed corporal is given permission to fly to MECCA and on to Somalia

A Canadian terrorist who burst into a military recruitment service and stabbed soldiers has been given permission to fly to Saudi Arabia and Somalia - even though officials say he 'continues to pose a significant threat to public safety.'

Ayanle Hassan Ali, 38, entered the Canadian Forces Recruiting Centre in Toronto in March 2016, and immediately attacked the corporal who was seated at the entrance, repeatedly punching him in the head and using a kitchen knife to slash and stab at the soldier. He then fought off other soldiers who tried to take him down.

'Allah told me to do this,' he reportedly told officers at the scene. 'Allah told me to come here and kill people.' ---More...
