Summary:CSIS officials believe [Mansour Ahani] is a trained assassin who once worked as an Iranian secret agent, assigned to murder enemies of the Islamic government abroad. Ahani has repeatedly denied the charges and said that he worked for the Iranian government as a drug enforcement officer and fled to Canada after refusing an assignment in Pakistan. The Supreme Court's pending ruling on Ahani -- and for another suspected terrorist, Manickavasagam Suresh, 44, who was arrested in 1995 -- is important because it carries implications for dozens of cases among the 400 to 600 immigration detainees held in prisons across Canada awaiting deportation.
