it's probably nothing.
BRAMPTON, Ont. – A man detained last week out of fear he might commit a terrorist act was charged Tuesday with a terrorism-related offence.
Police allege that Kevin Mohamed participated in, or contributed to, the activities of a terrorist group over a two-year period.
Mohamed, 23, of no fixed address, was remanded until April 19 for a bail hearing that prosecutor Sarah Shaikh said could last two or three days.
“The Crown is seeking his detention,” Shaikh told justice of the peace Kelly Visser.
In a statement after the new charge was laid Tuesday, the RCMP said the arrest followed an “extensive” investigation dubbed “Project Swap” that began last August amid suspicion that Mohamed had travelled to Turkey in April 2014 to join Jabhat Al-Nusra, a listed terrorist entity in Canada. Mohamed returned to Canada a month later, police allege.
“We were able to not only disrupt this threat to our country’s national security, but also to bring this individual before the Canadian justice system,” the Mounties said in the statement.
