CALGARY — Sentencing for a former Canadian soldier who admitted to planning an attack on the Calgary office of Veterans Affairs has been delayed.
Glen Gieschen (GEE'-shin) had a beef with the department over coverage for illnesses he believed were caused by a flu shot.
The Crown requested a delay until Feb. 11 to review Gieschen's psychiatric assessment.
His lawyer says he was anxious to receive his punishment and put the matter behind him.
The 45-year-old former military intelligence officer pleaded guilty in November to weapons charges.
Police recovered firearms, body armour, possible bomb-making materials, schematics of the downtown skyscraper and a plan to attack the seventh-floor offices of Veterans Affairs.
