Aumar Alsorani

Aumar Alsorani (born in Iraq) is a Canadian who was arrested in Irbil, Iraq on accusations that he was fighting in the Iraqi insurgency.[1]

Alsorani moved to Scarborough, Ontario in the 1990s and worked as a construction labourer.[1] On February 12, 2004 he travelled back to his native Iraq, ostensibly to visit his uncle in Sulaymaniya.[1] The Canadian Security Intelligence Service then sent an agent to speak to his friends in Toronto, and he was arrested the following month by Kurdish officials in northern Iraq.[1]
