The RCMP say they have charged three men with facilitating a terrorist activity in a plot to create an “anti-government militia” in Quebec and a fourth with multiple explosives and firearms charges.
Some of those charged are “active members of the Canadian Armed Forces,” the RCMP said in a statement.
According to authorities, all four men “were allegedly involved in activities intending to forcibly take possession of land in the Québec City area” and describe the case as one of “ideologically motivated violent extremism.”
The Integrated National Security Enforcement Team says three of the men, all from Quebec, took concrete actions to facilitate terrorist activity and are each facing one charge of facilitating terrorist activity.
