Montrealer Bids to Clear His Name from No-Fly List

Abousfian Abdelrazik can't work or travel until he's removed from the UN's terror registry.

Supporters of a Montreal man who's stuck on the UN's no-fly watchlist despite there being no concrete proof that he has links to terrorism are headed to New York City to try to clear his name. Abousfian Abdelrazik was thrown out of Canada in 2003 for alleged links to Ahmed Ressam, the "millennium bomber," and spent six years in his native Sudan until a judge ruled that the government had no grounds on which to exile him. Abdelrazik admits he knew Ressam, but was never involved in any terrorist activities. Because he's on the no-fly list, Abdelrazik can't work or travel outside the country. A team of seven supporters is scheduled to meet with the United Nations committee responsible for the list this week.
