Alberta man was ISIS propagandist, police say

Writing under the alias “Sulaiman Dawood al-Kanadie,” he penned fiery propaganda for the Islamic State about attacks that would dwarf Sept. 11, 2001. In the ISIS magazine Voice of Khurasan, he praised the terror group’s late leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, demonized Jews and lectured about fighting jihad. But the internet wasn’t as anonymous as he thought, according to recently-unsealed court documents that detail the RCMP’s investigation on the case. RCMP counter-terrorism officers tracked al-Kanadie’s email account to a housing co-op in Laval, Que., and a rural property east of Edmonton. Touria Izri reports.
