Canada to probe allegations that ‘intelligence agent’ aided in human trafficking to ISIS – By Zayn Nabbi (CNN) / Sept 1, 2022
London (CNN) Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has promised to “follow up” on allegations that a person alleged to have been an intelligence agent for Canada smuggled British schoolgirls into Syria.
Trudeau’s comments followed a Wednesday report from the BBC detailing the activities of a man who allegedly smuggled multiple people to ISIS and shared their personal information with Canadian intelligence.
The BBC spoke to an unnamed senior intelligence officer from an unspecified country that is fighting ISIS, and obtained what they described as a “dossier” on the man BBC described as “an intelligence agent for Canada.” The dossier contained information from law enforcement and intelligence, the BBC said.
The BBC also spoke to Shamima Begum, one of the British schoolgirls who travelled to Syria to join ISIS in 2015 at the age of 15. Begum claimed that the man “organized the entire trip from Turkey to Syria,” according to the BBC, which said the interview was part of an upcoming podcast.
