Yasim Abdi Mohamed is one of 17 people connected to arrests on June 2 and June 3, 2006 in the 2006 Toronto terrorism arrests. He was serving a two year sentence on weapons smuggling charges, which were recently connected to the Toronto group. He was caught bringing a gun across the U.S. border to Canada. He was born in Somalia and immigrated with his parents to Canada. He was sentenced with Mohammed Dirie for the gun smuggling crime.
As a result of preferred direct indictment by the Crown Attorney on 2007-09-24, Mohamed was re-arrested and now only faces 2 charges after the Crown dropped the third charge of providing property to aid and abet a terrorist organization.[1]
