Decision pending on whether police entrapped B.C. pair into committing terrorism
VANCOUVER — John Nuttall hangs his head and promises he’ll do better next time. Covert video played in British Columbia Supreme Court from the spring of 2013 shows the man Nuttall calls his Muslim brother berating him for pitching a poorly researched terrorism plot to hijack a commuter train on Vancouver Island.
The problem: passenger service on the Via Rail line had been discontinued years earlier.
The video is part of the evidence heard by Justice Catherine Bruce, who is due to decide Friday whether the Mounties induced Nuttall and Amanda Korody, his common-law wife, to commit terrorist acts.
Nuttall’s plans for the train were caught on police surveillance video.
