A Toronto man accused of plotting an ISIS-inspired mass murder in the city with his son is now facing four war crimes charges, CBC News has learned. All offences allegedly occurred overseas before Ahmed Eldidi came to Canada and was granted citizenship. Eldidi came to Canada in 2018, federal records show, and was granted Canadian citizenship in May of this year. His son, who does not hold Canadian citizenship, arrived in 2020 and was granted refugee status two years later.
"We were within a hair's breadth – minutes, hours or potentially days away – of a mass casualty event on the Toronto Jewish community," Brock said in August at a meeting of the House of Commons public safety and national security committee. He did not respond to requests for further comment.
