Bangladesh court clears Toronto student in deadly attack case
Tahmid Hasib Khan, a Toronto university student and Canadian permanent resident, is formally cleared by a Dhaka court of all involvement in the July 1 restaurant siege that killed 20. Investigators found no evidence tying him to the attackers though he faces a separate charge of not co operating with police, which could bring a month in jail and a fine if convicted. His family welcomes the ruling while pursuing his return to Canada. The charge stems from alleged failure to attend police interviews on July 10 and 21.
