From what I've heard he is a Syrian draft dodger that went to Canada.

He was born in Syria.
According to the article he was born in Syria, and thus a Syrian citzen. He also has dual citizenship with Canada. Perhaps someone could some up with some information from the US as to why he deported to Syria, rather than Canada. I assume Canada was consulted as to what to do with him when they told the US that he was under suspicion.
