Canadian police arrest man, charge him with aiding Islamic State

(Reuters) - Canadian police on Tuesday arrested an Ottawa man they said was planning to aid Islamic State fighters and charged him with participation in the activity of a terrorist group.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said the man, Awso Peshdary, 25, was also accused of facilitating the activity of a terrorist group. They stressed there had never been any immediate threat to the Canadian public.

Police said they had laid charges in absentia against two other Ottawa men they said had left Canada to fight with Islamic State. They named them as Khadar Khalib, 23, and John Maguire, 24.

"Through each terrorist-related charge we lay and each arrest we make, we send a message, which illustrates our strong resolve to root out terrorist threats," RCMP Chief Superintendent Jennifer Strachan told a news conference.

whatever the hell they are called strikes here on US soil.

Just watched Season 4 of "Falling Skies" over the weekend, aliens invade earth, etc.

The rebel force led by the good guys, somehow I think certain people NOT Muricans would identify as such and see the US as the invading force.


We need to understand that.
