Father Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi, left, and son Mostafa Eldidi, right, both appeared in virtual court sessions Thursday. MPs of all stripes have agreed to investigate how a father and son accused of planning a terror attack in Toronto were allowed into Canada despite claims that the father had taken part in a violent terrorist assault overseas.
Jihadology.net, a U.S. website that catalogues Islamic State communiques and propaganda, posted what appears to be the video in question on June 16, 2015 — the same day it appeared on an ISIS-affiliated website. A man dressed all in black, with a cap that features the white Islamic State symbol, uses a long, square-edged sword to hack at the prisoner's outstretched limbs. His red-bearded face is briefly visible as the video cuts from one angle of the attack to another.
"We need answers," Conservative MP Frank Caputo said Tuesday. "The government has a lot of explaining to do."
