Glenn Neville Ford is a Canadian citizen, born in Trinidad, who fell under suspicion of an association with terrorism.

The Toronto Star reported that Ford founded a Toronto branch of Jamaat ul-Fuqra. The Star reported that Ford traveled to Lahore, Pakistan to study at the International Quranic Open University, an unstitution founded by Sheik Mubarik Ali Gilani -- also the founder of Jamaat ul-Fuqra. According to the Star, the FBI described the University as a "terror front".

Ford, another Canadian, and three men from Texas, triggered suspicion, when crossing the Canada-US border in 1991. Circumstantial evidence found in their vehicle lead to arrests. The trial was relocated to nearby St. Catherines, Ontario, due to security concerns. The suspects were charged with plotting to bomb]] a Hindu temple and Indian theatre in Toronto, Canada.

The three Texans were convicted, but Ford and the other suspect from Toronto were acquitted.

The USA delisted Jamaat ul-Fuqra as a threat in 2000 -- due to inactivity.
