adil charkaoui -lrb- in arabic عادل الشرقاوي born 1974 -rrb- is a morocco-born canadian citizen who was arrested by the canadian government under a security certificate in may 2003 .
before issuing the certificate , evidence was submitted that he had trained in an anti-soviet jihadist camp in afghanistan .
the court was also not satisfied with his reasons for visiting pakistan for six months in 1990 .
evidence that he practiced karate was also among the submissions .
canadian security intelligence service -lrb- csis -rrb- testimonies included opinions that he would also `` have been trained in such areas as : operating rocket-propelled grenade-launchers , sabotage , urban and assassination . ''
csis also alleged that `` was noteworthy that one of those who participated in the hijacking of -lsb- the september 11 attacks in 2001 had taken martial arts training in preparation ... '' and suggested that charkaoui represented a sleeper agent .
this led to the issuance of the security certificate by the two responsible government ministers after which he was detained , and such evidence was also enough to uphold the certificate by federal court upon review .
