Fourth suspect arrested in terror case: RCMP

....

Mr. McKercher made the comments after one of the three other suspects, Khurram Syed Sher, appeared in court in Ottawa Friday morning.

The 28-year-old Sher, a doctor who once auditioned for Canadian Idol, appeared nervous on being led into court by two RCMP tactical officers. He stood in the glass-enclosed prisoner’s box with his hands in his pockets before taking them out and crossing them in front of him.

A tall man with a somewhat scraggly black beard, he wore a striped dress shirt and dress pants. He said nothing except to speak to his lawyer in a hushed voice.

He was remanded into custody pending an appearance by video next Wednesday with his two Ottawa co-accused.

Dr. Sher, who was arrested in London, Ont., where he had recently moved, is charged with a single count of conspiracy to facilitate a terrorist offence with two Ottawa men, Hiva Alizadeh, 30, and Misbahuddin Ahmed, 26.

It is alleged the three men conspired with three other people, who are not in Canada and have not been charged, and with other unknown persons in Canada, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Dubai and Iran.

In the aftermath of the arrests Muslim leaders from Ottawa met with police Thursday to seek assurances their community was not regarded with suspicion. During his tour of Canada’s North, Prime Minister Stephen Harper was asked Friday how he would try to prevent an inflammation of racial or ethic tensions because of the terrorism arrests.
