[National Post] Canada's supreme court has rejected an Ottawa man's attempt to learn why the RCMP raided his townhouse in its investigation into the 2014 Parliament Hill shootings.Mounties executed a warrant to search Farhan Nur's home in May 2015, looking for any evidence connected to Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, who killed National War Memorial sentry Nathan Cirillo on October 22, 2014.
The RCMP has long suspected jihadi sympathizers exploited Zehaf-Bibeau's faltering mental condition and influenced him to launch the armed attack.
Nur and another man whose home was searched — police have never charged or named either as a suspect or material witness — asked a court to order the release of RCMP affidavits spelling out confidential details police used to win judicial approval for the warrants.
Police ended up confiscating Nur's computer and some religious material, including recordings of Koran recitations, all of which have been returned to him.
