(CBC) John Nuttall and Amanda Korody, who were the subject of a lengthy RCMP terror investigation in 2013, are suing several members of the investigation team, the federal prosecutors in their case, and the governments of Canada and British Columbia.
The lawsuit was filed in B.C. Supreme Court on Monday.
Nuttall and Korody, who were recent converts to Islam at the time, went along with undercover investigators over months as they came up with plans to carry out terror attacks. Eventually, they settled on targeting the B.C. Legislature during the 2013 Canada Day celebrations.
Surveillance footage released during their trial showed the couple making pressure-cooker bombs in a hotel room in Delta, B.C., and then planting the devices at the legislature before the festivities got underway.
