An Ontario man convicted of supporting an al-Qaeda-affiliated terror group has been rearrested after national security officials learned of information suggesting he "may pose a risk to public safety," the RCMP says. In the days leading up to his August arrest, the RCMP say they turned up information suggesting Mohamed might pose a public safety risk. The board noted it was "very concerned" Mohamed could continue to present a "significant risk to the community." Police tracked him for nearly a week until he suddenly went offline upon withdrawing $3,500 from his bank account. He was arrested in March 2016 after being found sleeping in empty rooms on his university campus, and convicted in 2017.
