Canada deports convicted Palestinian terrorist after 26 years
None
Canada's immigration minister says a convicted Palestinian terrorist who once hijacked an airliner has been deported from Canada 26 years after entering the country using an alias.
Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said Monday that Mahmoud Mohammad Issa Mohammad made a false refugee claim in 1987. The government later learned he was a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and had participated in a terrorist attack on an Israeli plane in Greece, which killed an Israeli citizen in 1968.
