An Ontario man who travelled to Syria to support an Islamic militant group will spend another two years behind bars after pleading guilty to a terror charge, his lawyer said Tuesday. Kevin Omar Mohamed was sentenced in a Toronto court to 4 ½ years in prison, with 2 ½ years credit for time already served, his lawyer Paul Slansky said. Court heard Mohamed also encouraged others to join militants in Syria through social media, which he used under several pseudonyms. While overseas, he tweeted a public invitation for others to join him, stressing how easy it was to enter through Turkey, court heard. Officers found a black computer bag that belonged to him and that contained a large hunting knife, heavy work gloves, a wallet and two sets of keys, court heard.
