“These are the most serious of terrorism offences, designed to result in indiscriminate killings of innocent human beings,” said the Toronto judge.

The court heard conversations in which the Muslims, Jaser and Esseghaier, discussed their ideologies, the plot to derail a Via Rail train travelling between New York and Toronto and other ideas for potential attacks.

Jurors were also shown aerial surveillance of the two accused and the undercover officer scouting a railway bridge in September 2012 in broad daylight as several trains passed by only metres away.
