(Global News) The RCMP announced Friday they are laying two additional charges against a young person the force arrested in late December on terror-related charges for allegedly plotting an attack on the Jewish community.
They have also charged a second young person as an alleged co-conspirator, the force said in a statement.
In the statement, RCMP Federal Policing Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (INSET) said the first person has remained in custody.
After an ongoing investigation, the youth received two additional charges on Feb. 15, for allegedly conspiring and agreeing to commit murder at the direction or in association with a terrorist group, and knowingly facilitating terrorist activity by “making available and exchanging instructional material and propaganda,” RCMP said.
