A man found guilty of terror offences as part of the so-called Toronto 18 has been convicted of those offences — one month later.

Shareef Abdelhaleem, 34, was found guilty in January of participating in a terrorist group and intending to cause an explosion.

No conviction was entered because his defence brought a motion seeking a stay on the basis of entrapment.

In handing down his decision Tuesday, the judge ruled that Abdelhaleem "was the antithesis of a credible witness."

"The accused demonstrated he was quite cunning. The evidence contains many instances where he advanced the bomb plot."

The judge concluded Abdelhaleem was actively involved in advancing the plot.

"There is virtually no evidence to prove entrapment in the circumstances," he said. "The accused took up the cause with full knowledge of what he was involved in."

Abdelhaleem's lawyer argued in the Brampton, Ont., court that his client was "dragged in" to the bomb plot by a former friend seeking revenge through his work as a police agent.

The Crown contended Abdelhaleem was a willing and active participant in the plot to detonate massive bombs at the Toronto offices of CSIS, the Toronto Stock Exchange and an Ontario military base.

Abdelhaleem is the seventh person convicted in the terror plot. Charges have been stayed against seven others and four still face trial.
