Terror suspect served in Canadian military
http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20060607/terror_canada_update_060607/20060607?hub=Canada

A terrorism suspect who allegedly plotted with others to storm Parliament Hill and wanted to behead the prime minister was a Canadian soldier for four years who likely received weapons training.

According to the Toronto Star newspaper, Steven Vikash Chand was a member of the Royal Regiment of Canada -- an infantry unit based in Toronto, and the second largest reserve regiment of the Canadian Forces.

Chand, a 25-year-old restaurant worker from Toronto, joined the reserves in June 2000 and served up until April 2004, according to military personnel records. But a military spokesperson said he wasn't a well-honed soldier.

Cmdr. Denise Laviolette described Chand as a reservist who completed few of the qualifications required for infantry soldiers and was absent for much of his time in uniform.
