Halifax man accused of terrorist activity refuses bail

Ali Assakereh, a 54-year-old man from Halifax, who was arrested on August 10 for allegedly placing a propane tank and flammable liquids in his car and parking near the U.S. Consulate in Halifax, is not currently seeking bail. The charges against Assakereh include threatening internationally protected people, which is considered a terrorist activity. His legal aid lawyer mentioned in court that they are working on a bail plan with the accused’s family, but it will take some time to finalize. Assakereh has agreed to remain in custody until he is ready to pursue bail, with the next court appearance scheduled for September 10 to enter a plea and decide on the trial format.
