RCMP charge Kingston youth with trying to get someone to plant a bomb
KINGSTON, Ont. — The RCMP have charged a Kingston youth with terrorism, saying the person — who cannot be identified — allegedly tried to persuade someone to plant a bomb.
A second individual, who came to Canada as a refugee, was arrested but later released without charges in the same purported plot, which has stirred up the usually sedate city on the shores of Lake Ontario.
The youth is charged with knowingly facilitating a terrorist activity and with counselling someone to use an explosive or other lethal device to cause death or serious bodily injury. The police say no actual device was ever planted.
