 While facing extradition, Ouzghar became a computer technician.During the raid on his house, a videotape was seized which was later said to "sing the praises of jihad".Justice Susan Himel, who took up responsibility for Ouzghar's case when an earlier judge bowed out due to ill-health, made a ruling on January 12, 2007, stating that "...there was insufficient evidence to show Ouzghar was a member of a terrorist group."
