Judge orders woman facing terror charges to appear in court Monday
TORONTO – A judge has ordered a Toronto-area woman facing terror-related charges in an alleged attack at a Canadian Tire store to appear in court on Monday, by force if necessary.
The order was issued for Rehab Dughmosh after the 32-year-old refused to leave her cell to attend a court hearing via video on Thursday.
The Crown says Dughmosh believes she has said all that she needs to in court.
Dughmosh faces a total of 21 charges, including attempted murder of at least three people for the benefit of or in association with a terrorist group.
Police allege Dughmosh swung a golf club at Canadian Tire employees and a customer on June 3 and threatened them.
They say she then pulled a large knife from under her clothes but store staff pried it out of her hands and restrained her.
Media reports have said Dughmosh pledged her allegiance to the Islamic State terrorist group during a previous court appearance.
