(CBC) A Toronto father and son — who were charged this week with multiple terrorism-related offences — denied in court Thursday the son’s involvement in an alleged plot to carry out what the RCMP has called a violent attack against the city.
Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi, 62, and Mostafa Eldidi, 26, appeared in virtual court sessions in Newmarket, Ont., Thursday, wearing standard-issue orange jumpsuits.
They 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.
When asked during the proceedings if he had anything to say, Mostafa Eldidi responded through a translator that he is innocent.
