Mounties said two people with “al-Qaida ideology” planned to blow up the British Columbia legislature on a national holiday, in a press conference held Tuesday afternoon.
BC’s online court registry system indicates charges were sworn today against John Stewart Nuttall, born in 1974, and Amanda Marie Korody, born in 1983.
The charges include knowingly facilitating a terrorist activity, making or possessing an explosive device, and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence.
The records indicate the charge connected to the explosive device relates to allegations that occurred last week in Victoria.
The conspiracy is alleged to have taken place in Surrey, B.C., in March.
They say arrests have been made in “Project Souvenir,” which was an investigation led by the Integrated National Security Enforcement Teams (INSETs).
INSETs is made up of various groups that investigate national security criminal threats.
No other information is available right now as charges are before the courts, many details cannot be discussed.
