TORONTO — A Toronto-born 22-year-old who appeared in an Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant video vowing to “destroy” Canada and the United States has been added to the INTERPOL wanted list.

Farah Mohamed Shirdon’s appearance on INTERPOL’s website comes days after the terrorist attacks in Paris claimed by ISIL and almost two months after he was charged in absentia by the RCMP.

The former Calgary fast food employee turned ISIL extremist is wanted for six criminal counts including leaving Canada to participate in terrorist activity and instructing others to commit terrorism.

He left Canada on March 14, 2014, the RCMP said. A month later he was shown in an ISIL video burning his Canadian passport and calling himself Abu Usamah. “This is a message to Canada and all the American tyrants: We are coming and we will destroy you, with permission from Allah the almighty,” he said.
