WINDSOR, Ont. — A lawyer for two Canadians wanted by the FBI following the death of a controversial imam in a police shootout in Detroit says they plan to fight extradition.
The two men, Mohammad Al-Sahli, 33, and Yassir Ali Khan, 30, both of Windsor, Ont., appeared briefly in court today.
Their case was put over until Friday for a bail hearing before Ontario Superior Court.
The men, arrested Saturday, remain in detention at the Windsor County jail.
The FBI accuses the men of a conspiracy to sell stolen goods, and of being followers of Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah, a leader of a Detroit mosque.
A police complaint suggests the imam espoused violence and sought to establish a Shariah-law state within the United States, a claim his mosque calls preposterous.
