CTV Edmonton - Prosecutors agree to unseal documents in case of suspected terrorist - CTV News: "Federal prosecutors agreed to unseal a number of documents in the case of an Edmonton man facing terrorism charges.

The lawyer for Sayfildin Tahir-Sharif will be getting access to more information on the accusations against his client.

Tahir-Sharif, 38, is charged in the U.S. for allegedly supporting a terrorist group that took part in a suicide bombing in Iraq that killed five American soldiers in April 2009.

Tahir-Sharif was arrested in Edmonton in January at the request of the FBI. U.S. authorities are looking to have him extradited to answer to the alleged ties to terrorist activity overseas.

Tahir-Sharif's lawyer, Bob Aloneissi, has asked for more disclosure, and argued he has seen very little evidence against his client.

The unsealed documents will include search warrants and a request for assistance from the U.S.

The case is back in court on March 21st."
