The claimant's allegations were not credible based on omissions in his filed forms, implausible explanations for being released, issuance and retention of a passport and unimpeded departure despite alleged terrorism suspicions, the multi‑year delay and conduct in the United States, and country evidence indicating reduced interest in past militants; therefore he failed to prove a risk of persecution or torture under sections 96/97 of the IRPA.
