(CBC) A father and son accused of planning an ISIS-inspired mass murder in Toronto have been ordered to stand trial next year.
Lawyers for Ahmed and Mostafa Eldidi appeared in Superior Court in Newmarket, Ont., this morning. The court scheduled a six-week jury trial, to begin Sept. 8, 2026.
The RCMP said the accused were “in the advanced stages of planning a serious, violent attack” when the men were arrested with an axe and a machete in a Richmond Hill hotel in July 2024.
Ahmed Eldidi and his son Mostafa, 27, both face a charge of conspiracy to commit murder, as well as terrorism offences.
Police declined to say which group was the target of the alleged plot, but Jewish advocacy organization B’nai Brith Canada and an Ontario Conservative MP have suggested the plan involved an attack on Jews.
