The father of another Muslim who was arrested is already claiming victim status, charging that the allegations against his son are “fake news.” This might be more credible if it weren’t the line that were always taken, in every last case.

“RCMP charge Kingston, Ont., youth with terror-related offence after security probe,” by Philip Ling and Catharine Tunney, CBC News, January 25, 2019:

The RCMP’s national security team has arrested and charged an Ontario youth with a terrorism-related offence, the police force said Friday after an investigation in Kingston, Ont.

Police have laid two charges against the young person — who’s accused of knowingly facilitating a terrorist activity and counselling another person to “deliver, place, discharge or detonate an explosive or other lethal device … against a place of public use with the intent to cause death or serious bodily injury.”

The identity of the accused has been withheld by police as the person is a minor and therefore protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

The RCMP said it will hold a news conference today starting at 1 p.m. ET to update the public on the investigation.

A second individual, an adult male CBC News has identified as Hussam Eddin Alzahabi, was also arrested Thursday, but has not been charged….

Earlier Friday, the father of Hussam Eddin Alzahabi said his 20-year-old son was arrested in what he described as a terror-related investigation.

“They tell me they search about him about terrorists. I know my son, he didn’t think about that. He like Canada. He like the safety in Canada. How could he think about that?” Amin Alzahabi, who has been in Canada since 2017, told CBC News in an interview from his home Friday morning.

“Not good, not good.”

Friday’s developments come after RCMP arrested two people following raids on two homes in the eastern Ontario city.

The RCMP were supported by both Kingston police and FBI officers.

On Thursday, officers could be seen carrying bags of evidence out of the homes.

By Friday morning, the police presence was contained to just one residence.

“It’s fake news about my son,” Alzahabi said. “I trust my son. I know he cannot do anything against any human, humanity.

“They inspected everything from my house. They didn’t find anything,” he said. “I think this is not good.”

The family, originally from Syria, has been living in Canada since July 2017, Alzahabi said, following time spent in Kuwait from 2008 to 2017.

According to a bulletin posted to the website of a Kingston-area Catholic church detailing the journey of the Alzahabi family, an ecumenical group of churches helped bring them to Canada through the private sponsorship refugee program in 2016-17.

The church group established a series of committees, including a hospitality and orientation committee composed of parishioners, and raised more than $30,000 to help support the family’s transition to life in Canada.

Alzahabi said he and his family came to Canada to be “liberated” and avoid being sent back to Syria — which is still in the throes of a multi-year bloody civil war — by the Kuwaiti government.

“I want to save my family from Assad regime in Syria,” he said, referencing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad​, who’s accused of perpetrating war crimes against his own people.

“I wanted to come to Canada and I [succeeded] in coming to Canada because I trust Canada. I trust this country is for the humanity … freedom,” Alzahabi said….
