(Ottawa Citizen) Carlos Larmond, the Ottawa terror twin jailed in 2016 for trying to leave the country to fight for the Islamic State, and later accused of trying to radicalize other inmates, has been released from prison and is living quietly at a halfway house in Calgary.
Larmond, who is now 29, was such a security threat on the inside that he was transferred to the Special Handling Unit (SHU), the country’s super-maximum prison in Quebec, parole board documents reveal. The SHU has caged the most heinous criminals, including Clifford Olson, Karla Homolka, Luka Magnotta and Maurice “Mom” Boucher.
Larmond, along with his twin brother Ashton, were part of a homegrown Ottawa terror cluster, which saw at least two men allegedly die overseas fighting for the Islamic State, and multiple others arrested.
