Hiva Mohammad Alizadeh, one of three men accused of plotting to carry out terrorist acts in Ottawa four years ago, has pleaded guilty to a charge of possessing explosives with an intent to injure.
The 34-year-old entered the plea at an Ottawa court Wednesday morning. As part of the plea deal he was sentenced to 24 years in prison.
He will not be eligible for parole for nine years.
Alizadeh’s plea follows separate trials for his two co-accused.
Khurram Syed Sher, a London, Ont. pathologist who once auditioned for Canadian Idol, was found not guilty last month. Misbahuddin Ahmed was convicted in July of two of the three charges against him.
The men were charged following an 11-month RCMP-led investigation, dubbed Operation Samossa, carried out between September 2009 and August 2010.
Police seized videos, drawings, schematics, instructions and books about how to build improvised explosive devices, along with 50 circuit boards design to detonate remotely controlled devices.
At the time his arrest Alizadeh, a one-time electrical engineering student, was living in an apartment on Woodridge Crescent.
The Crown alleged the group had hatched a terrorist plot in Ottawa that threatened both Canadian troops then serving in Afghanistan and the residents of the nation’s capital.
While Sher walked away a free man, the previously convicted Misbahuddin Ahmed is now awaiting sentencing for conspiring to knowingly facilitate a terrorist activity and participating in the activities of a terrorist group. The former charge carries a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison, while the latter has a 10-year maximum term.
The Crown has described Ahmed as a “committed jihadist,” noting the discovery of a bag in his basement it said held bomb-making materials.
