"Terrorist returns: Peter MacKay urges Ottawa to consider revoking citizenship

TORONTO - One of Canada's most notorious terrorist leaders has returned home to Montreal after serving four years in a French prison for his role in an international jihadist network.
Fateh Kamel, a 44-year-old Algerian-Canadian who headed a Montreal-based extremist cell, arrived in Montreal on Jan. 29 aboard an Air France flight, sources told the National Post.
A charismatic shopkeeper who led a double life as the international terrorist operative "Moustapha," Kamel was dubbed the "Islamist Carlos" because of his remarkable exploits around the world.
"I am GIA," he once said in a conversation intercepted by Italian counter-terrorism investigators. GIA is the French acronym for the Algerian Armed Islamic Group. "Killing is easy for me."
The best-known member of the so-called Groupe Fateh Kamel was Ahmed Ressam, the failed refugee claimant from Montreal who tried to blow up Los Angeles International Airport at the dawn of the millennium.
Captured in Jordan in 1999, Kamel was tried in Paris in 2001 and convicted for his involvement with terrorist groups. Although sentenced to eight years' imprisonment, he was released early for good behaviour. He has a Canadian wife and son.
Peter MacKay, the Conservative Party's deputy leader and public safety critic, urged the government to consider revoking Kamel's Canadian citizenship. Canada has used such tactics against Nazi war criminals.
"By all means we should be examining revocation, and certainly there is cause for the Canadian government, for our officials, to examine whether he was truthful at the time of his entry into this country," Mr. MacKay said.
"I have a real problem with us just saying we'll let bygones be bygones. I don't think most Canadians have much comfort level knowing that this convicted terrorist is now back in our country."
Kamel's return comes as another suspected al-Qaeda operative from Montreal, Moroccan Adil Charkaoui, was freed by a Federal Court judge who ruled he was no longer a threat to Canadian security. He is still facing the prospect of deportation.
The cases are posing challenges for Canadian officials trying to strike a balance between the rights of one-time terrorists and the imperative to protect national security in the era of global terrorism."

The Canadian government is constantly pulling **** like this. The ****ing rights of the ****ing terrorists? The Governor General has the authority (on advice of the Cabinet) to revoke immigrants citizenships. Toss him out, or better yet try him for something and toss him in jail, then toss him out.
