Terror suspect convicted in Austrian-Canadian plot

A Canadian resident has been convicted of terrorism-related charges for his role in a plot to bomb targets in Vienna.

Said Namouh, a 36-year-old Moroccan citizen who has lived in Quebec since 2003, was found guilty Thursday of conspiracy to detonate an explosive device and three other terrorism-related charges.

Namouh was arrested in Quebec in September 2007 for his alleged role in making threats in an Internet video that surfaced last March warning that Germany and Austria would be attacked if they did not pull their troops out of Afghanistan.

The prosecution also argued Namouh was a member of the Global Islamic Media Front, an organization that is described as a media tool for al-Qaida.
