A Canadian man who stormed a Toronto military recruitment centre and stabbed soldiers in a horrific terror attack has been granted permission to travel overseas, despite officials warning he remains a threat.Ayanle Hassan Ali, now 38, carried out the frenzied attack in March 2016, telling officers at the scene: "Allah told me to come here and kill people."The Ontario Review Board ruled on April 15 that Ali may undertake a three-week journey to Saudi Arabia for a religious pilgrimage, and onwards to Somalia, where he hopes to meet a woman his father has identified as a potential bride.The decision comes despite testimony that Ali "continued to pose a significant threat to the safety of the public".
