(National Post) The Ottawa youth facing five terrorism- and explosive-related charges targeting Jewish people allegedly possessed bomb-making materials, such as chemicals and metal ball bearings, when he was arrested by the RCMP Friday.
A detailed version of the charges against the minor obtained by National Post also suggests he’s accused of communicating with others in Canada and the United States about bomb-making in order to “facilitate a terrorist activity.”
The young man, who cannot legally be identified because he is a minor, briefly appeared virtually at the Ottawa courthouse Monday, four days after he was arrested by the RCMP and charged with two terrorism-related offences targeting “Jewish persons.”
