Father of drowned Toronto boy faces deportation as a suspected terrorist: documents

A CSIS report alleges that Nadarajah was one of the group's top international leaders. The report also says he claimed refugee status in Canada under a false name in 1998 after crossing the border in Montreal.

Nadarajah admitted Tuesday that he used his grandfather's name when making his refugee bid, but vehemently denied any association with a terrorist group.
