(CBC) A Toronto man accused of plotting an ISIS-inspired mass murder in the city with his son is now facing war crimes charges, CBC News has learned.
Ahmed Eldidi, 62, and Mostafa Eldidi, 27, both appeared in a Newmarket, Ont., courtroom late Monday afternoon from the prisoner box. Ahmed Eldidi leaned in to hear an Arabic-language interpreter as federal prosecutor Marie Comiskey read the new charges.
A Superior Court indictment viewed by CBC shows the elder Eldidi is now charged with the following war crimes “against a protected person in a non-international armed conflict”:
- Murder.
- Mutilation.
- Torture.
- Outrages upon personal dignity.
