Toronto Father and Son Arrested for Alleged ISIS-Linked Terror Plot; Citizenship Screening Under Scrutiny
Aug 6, 2024, 04:10 PM
A father and son have been arrested in Toronto for allegedly planning a terrorist attack on the city's citizens and having connections to ISIS. The father, Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi, 62, immigrated to Canada after 2015 despite allegedly participating in ISIS violence overseas, including dismembering a body in an ISIS execution video. The federal government has declined to explain how Eldidi was able to immigrate and obtain citizenship. The son does not hold Canadian citizenship. These arrests have raised significant concerns about Canada's immigration and security screening processes, prompting calls from Conservative leaders for a thorough investigation and explanation from the Trudeau government.
