OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — The Supreme Court of Canada opened the door Wednesday to deporting an Algerian refugee accused of being an al-Qaida sleeper agent.

Mohamed Harkat, a former pizza delivery man, was arrested in 2002 on suspicion of being a member of al-Qaida. He denies the allegations and says he could face torture if returned to Algeria.
