Two convicted in Canada VIA rail terror plot case
Two Canadian men accused of plotting to attack a passenger train going from New York to Toronto have been found guilty on multiple terror charges.
Raed Jaser and Chiheb Esseghaier were arrested in 2013 after a surveillance and undercover operation.
Jurors spent 10 days in deliberations before returning guilty verdicts in eight out of nine charges.
Prosecutors alleged the two men spent months plotting to kill as many people as possible on the VIA rail route.
