Fateh Kamel

An Algerian-Canadian, Fateh Kamel is believed to have fought the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan, as well as fighting in Bosnia before he moved to Canada in 1987. He was granted Canadian citizenship in 1993,Hamilton, Graeme.

"Al Qaeda: Brotherhood of Terror", 2002]

In Canada, he is alleged to have led a group of radical Montreal Islamists, including Ahmed Ressam. In 1991 he is believed to have attended an Afghan training camp, and returned to Montreal where he stole money and identity documents to support his group's plans to bomb Parisian metro stations, and a series of attacks in the city of Roubaix.

He was arrested in Jordan in March 1999, and extradited to France, where he was convicted and sentenced to eight years' imprisonment. After his early release from prison for good behaviour, he returned to Montreal in January 2005, where he was living with his wife and son until Canada brought deportation orders against him.MacLeon, Ian.

Five months after returning to Canada, Kamel applied for a passport explaining that he needed to fly to Thailand on a business trip. On November 30, Pierre Pettigrew wrote an internal memo suggesting the application be denied, which it was. In March 2008, Federal Court justice Simon Noel ruled that this had infringed Kamel's rights under the Canadian Charter.
