January 28, 2019   

(Canadian Press) A youth facing terrorism charges in Kingston, Ont., will be back in court next week, after his lawyer has had more time to study his case.

The RCMP charged the youth last week, saying he tried to persuade someone to plant a bomb. He is charged with knowingly facilitating a terrorist activity and with counselling someone to use an explosive or other lethal device to cause death or serious bodily injury.

On Monday afternoon the teen made a brief appearance in criminal court by video link from the Brookside Youth Centre in Cobourg, about 150 kilometres away, where he is being held until an eventual bail hearing.

He cannot be identified under provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
