Third Suspect Arrested After Ottawa Terror Probe
An Ottawa terror probe has led to the arrest of a third suspect after twin brothers were arrested in recent days. Suliman Mohamed, a 21 year old from Ottawa, was arrested on Monday by the RCMP Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (INSET). The charges involve conspiracy to participate in a terrorist activity and participating in the activity of a terrorist group. Reports show that the arrest was made with help from local police and the OPP, and that it is linked to the previous arrest of the Larmond brothers although the details are not fully clear to the public yet on what the link is. According to the criminal operations officer for Ontario, RCMP chief Supt. Jennifer Strachan“ These recent arrests underscore the reality that there are individuals in Ontario and in Canada who have become radicalized to a violent ideology, and who are willing to act upon it. Thanks to the ongoing collaborative efforts of our INSET partners, we are in a better position to target these threats and protect the Canadian public.”
The third suspect arrested after the Ottawa terror probe has ties to the Larmond brothers. So far law enforcement has not disclosed what the terroristic activities were that the trio are suspected of, or which terrorist organization they have or planned o participate in. Carlos Larmond was arrested at the airport where he planned to leave the country, and allegations from the RCMP are that Carlos was leaving to take part in some terrorist group. All 3 of the men arrested so far are from Canada.
