Career
Two years later, he was among the suspects in the alleged terrorism case who were released and had all charges dropped. On June 2, 2006, the 21-year-old Ghany was driving his Lexus car along the Gardiner Expressway in Toronto, when police vehicles surrounded him and forced the car to the side of the road, where they arrested, handcuffed and searched Ghany.
Friends and family expressed disbelief at Ghany"s arrest, stating that he was "the most quiet guy ever", and "kind of a nerd".
Represented by Rocco Galati, Ghany was held at the Maplehurst Correctional Complex.
He was charged under the Canadian Anti-Terrorism Acting with participating in a terrorist group, and training for terrorist purposes. The charges stemmed from the fact he attended a winter camp near Washago that prosecutors have alleged was planned as an opportunity to hone their terrorist skills.
Ghany was only at the camp for three days, helping to set up the site, playing paintball and leaving early. He had to report to police weekly, and could not communicate with the other suspects in the case.
On April 15, 2008, nearly two years after the arrests, all charges were dropped against Ghany, Qayyum Abdul Jamal, Ibrahim Aboud and Yasim Mohamed.
