(CBC) A Toronto father and son arrested while allegedly in the “advanced stages” of planning a violent attack have been charged with multiple terrorism-related offences, the RCMP say.
Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi, 62, and Mostafa Eldidi, 26, face a total of nine charges. Among them is one count each of conspiracy to commit murder for the benefit or at the direction of a terrorist group — namely ISIS, a Sunni Muslim militant organization.
RCMP Assistant Commissioner Matt Peggs announced the charges at a news conference on Wednesday.
The pair were arrested on July 28 in a hotel room in Richmond Hill, Ont., after a month-long investigation that involved multiple police services, Peggs said.
