(Global News) The investigation that resulted in the arrests of two Toronto men accused of plotting an attack for ISIS began with a tip from France, sources have told Global News.
French authorities allegedly became aware of at least one of the suspects and notified Canada’s intelligence service.
Following a brief investigation, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service called in the RCMP, which conducted its own probe and arrested the father and son on July 28.
The suspects were “in the advanced stages of planning a serious, violent attack in Toronto” when they were taken into custody at a hotel room north of the city, the RCMP said.
Sources said it was the RCMP investigation that uncovered the alleged attack plot.
