Larmond had originally booked a flight for Istanbul to later join ISIL in Syria but authorities invalidated his passport three days before his scheduled Sept. 20, 2013 departure. He’s now serving 17 years in prison for counselling a person to carry out a terrorist activity. Maguire, believed to have been killed in Syria, appeared in a highly publicized ISIL recruitment video released on Dec. 7, 2014. In the video, Maguire declared a religious war on Canada and urged other Muslims to either go fight for ISIL overseas or launch attacks on Canadian soil. Months later, in November 2013, Larmond texted Maguire, saying he was finding it hard to cope in Canada.
