He was held for two years, and tortured, using information believed to have been supplied to his Syrian interrogators by RCMP investigators.
One of the triggers for the scrutiny Abdullah Almalki was subjected to was that in the early 1990s he had worked as an aid volunteer for
Human Concern International , the same charity thatAhmed Said Khadr worked for. Whatever reasons the RCMP had for scrutinizing Nazih Amalki have not been made public.It is now widely accepted that Abdullah Amalki never had any ties to terrorism.
