Mohammed Ali Dirie is one of 17 people connected to arrests on June 2 and June 3, 2006 in the 2006 Toronto terrorism arrests.

Border patrol agents found two loaded guns strapped to his legs. He was born in Somalia and immigrated with his mother to Canada. He was sentenced with Yasim Abdi Mohamed for gun smuggling.

In 2003, he was the subject of a Toronto Star article about a carpentry business that hired local youths. [http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Render&c=Gallery&cid=1127469819683&colid=1149415320626]
