A French court on Thursday sentenced a Moroccan-born Canadian man to four years in prison for providing fake identity papers to Islamic extremists who allegedly plotted terror attacks. Abdellah Ouzghar was found guilty of conspiracy to take part in a terrorist enterprise and complicity to produce forged documents, six months after he was extradited to France.
Ouzghar, 45, was arrested in Toronto a month after the September 11, 2001 attacks. He had been living in Canada since 1990 and had received Canadian citizenship in 1994. A French court had convicted him in absentia for terror offences in 2001 and sentenced to five years for his ties to the "Roubaix gang" of ex-fighters in Bosnia.
