A member and “key architect” of the foiled 2006 Ontario terrorist attack has been granted day parole, despite opposition from the Correctional Service of Canada.

“You will not be sorry,” Shareef Abdelhaleem told the Parole Board of Canada at a penitentiary in Eastern Townships, Quebec, in a Dec. 8 hearing. “You will never hear from me again.”
