RCMP accuse second Calgary man of travelling to Syria to take part in Islamic State

(Canadian Press) RCMP have charged a second Calgary man in an ongoing terrorism investigation.

Jamal Taan Borhot, 30, is charged with three counts of participating in terrorist group activity. Police allege he “committed terrorist activities benefitting the terrorist group known as the Islamic State.”

In July, RCMP announced they had charged Hussein Sobhe Borhot, 34, with the same three counts, as well as commission of an offence for a terrorist group.

Police believe the Islamic State trained him for the purpose of enhancing its ability and that he knowingly committed the offence of kidnapping while working with the militants.

Both Borhots are accused of travelling to Syria to commit the offences in 2013 and 2014.
