11:00 – ISIS CELL
Simon Palamar, Research Assistant, CIGI
Three Ottawa men were charged earlier this week by the RCMP for taking part in activities related to financial and ideological support of ISIS. Two men are believed to be fighting overseas with ISIS in Syria or Iraq, one of which is thought to have been killed. An Interpol red notice has also been issued – alerting international authorities to be on the lookout. A third man, Awso Peshdary was taken into custody in Ottawa. Police believe Peshdary radicalized both men, who are now overseas, convincing them to join ISIS. RCMP say the arrests underscore the fact that there are people in Canada who have become radicalized to violence and are willing to act upon it.
