Iran allegedly plotted to assassinate Irwin Cotler, a noted Canadian human-rights advocate and harsh critic of the clerical regime, but the attempt on his life was recently foiled by law-enforcement authorities.

Because ‘terrorism’ has a very specific meaning in the Criminal Code, and UFWD foreign interference is not it. Their activities are more the sort of thing intended to be covered by the new Foreign Interference offences and the pending foreign agents registry.
