Accused B.C. Terrorist Hoped Attack Would Help 'Brothers' In Afghanistan

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 18 Mar, 2015 01:45 PM
    VANCOUVER — A jury has heard a B.C. man accused of orchestrating a terrorist plot with his wife explain that he hoped attacking the provincial legislature would help Muslims in the Middle East.
     
    The trial for John Nuttall and Amanda Korody is listening to audio secretly recorded by police on July 1, 2013, after the couple planted homemade pressure-cooker bombs on the legislature lawn.
     
    Nuttall says he hopes the attack will hurt the morale of Canadian soldiers who are fighting Muslims in countries such as Afghanistan.
     
    He says he wants to "butcher" infidels just like they are butchering Muslims.
     
    While Nuttall says he wants to send a message, he and Korody remain unsure whether the legislature buildings in Victoria are part of the provincial or federal government.
     
    Nuttall and Korody have each pleaded not guilty to four terrorism-related charges.
