Ontario's highest court upheld Raed Jaser's terrorism conviction and life sentence for a plot to derail a Canada-US train.

Ontario's highest court upheld the conviction and life sentence of Raed Jaser, one of two men found guilty of terrorism charges in a plot to derail a passenger train between Canada and the US. Jaser, who argued that his case should have been severed from that of his co-accused, lost his appeal on the grounds that the trial judge made reasonable and legally correct decisions on the issue. The court ruled that going ahead with a joint trial "did not result in an injustice."
