After making the arrest, Canada’s national security team said in a statement that Mohamed’s arrest was directly linked to the arrests of Ashton and Carlos Larmond, two Ottawa brothers accused of conspiring to commit terrorism offenses. The brothers were arrested Friday.
The RCMP alleged Mohamed conspired to participate in terrorism with the Larmond brothers.
