Anser Farooq
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Canadian defence attorney, Anser Farooq gained notability defending five[1] suspects during the Toronto terrorism case. He had initially refused to name which suspects he was defending[2], but three were later revealed as Asad Ansari[3] Ibrahim Aboud and Qayyum Jamal.
On August 25, 2006, Mr. Ibrahim Aboud became the second adult to be released from custody.[4]
On November 5, 2007, Mr. Qayyum Jamal became the third adult to be granted bail. He had been in custody for over 17 months. The bomb conspiracy charge against him was also dropped. Mr. Farooq stated that, "we were able to establish, during the preliminary inquiry, that there were a lot of problems with the Crown's case" and evidence elicited during the preliminary inquiry set the stage for Mr. Jamal's release.

Based in Mississauga, Ontario.
