A Canadian man already facing terrorism charges for an alleged plot to attack Toronto is now also facing war crimes charges.
A man facing terror charges for allegedly plotting an attack in Toronto with his son is now also facing multiple war crimes charges. The RCMP say 62-year-old Ahmed Eldidi — who was arrested along with his son earlier this year for alleged terrorism offences — faces four war crimes charges, including murder, mutilation and torture against a protected person in a'non-international armed conflict.' Details on the alleged war crimes , including where they occurred, were not immediately available.
The RCMP say it's the first national security investigation where war crimes charges have been laid in Canada. Eldidi and his son, 26-year-old Mostafa Eldidi, were arrested in Richmond Hill, Ont., in July on nine terrorism charges, including conspiracy to commit murder on behalf of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The RCMP had said at the time that the two men were in the advanced stages of planning a'serious, violent attack' in Toronto. The RCMP say the elder Eldidi appeared in court yesterday in relation to the new charges
