Father, son facing terror charges allegedly planning violent Toronto attack: RCMP
TORONTO — A father and son who were allegedly planning a violent attack in Toronto and had links to the Islamic State group are facing terrorism related charges, the RCMP said Wednesday.
The two were arrested at a hotel in Richmond Hill, Ont., on the weekend, and were in possession of an axe and a machete, the Mounties said.
The RCMP said the 62-year-old father and his 26-year-old son were “in the advanced stages of planning a serious, violent attack in Toronto.”
“The accused knowingly facilitated terrorist activity in the Greater Toronto Area,” an RCMP statement said.
