Alleged Toronto terror plot thwarted; father and son taken into custody
Canadian police say they have stopped a planned terrorist attack in Toronto and arrested a father and son in connection to the plot.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, or RCMP, said on Wednesday that 62-year-old Ahmed Eldidi and 26-year-old Mostafa Eldidi were arrested on Sunday at a hotel in Richmond Hill, Toronto.
The pair are accused of a plot to carry out a "violent, serious attack" in Canada's largest city, for the benefit of or at the direction of the Islamic State group.
Both are facing charges of terrorism and conspiracy to commit murder.
Matt Peggs, RCMP assistant commissioner, said the men were in the "advanced stages" of planning the attack.
Both are residents of the Toronto area and Canadian citizens, police said.
"This was an imminent threat and we were able to prevent serious injuries or loss of life."

A father and son accused of planning a terrorist attack in Toronto had filmed a video of themselves holding weapons in front of the ISIS flag, sources told Global News.
The video of Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi, 62, and Mostafa Eldidi, 26, showed them with an axe and machete, according to three sources who spoke on the condition of not being identified.

If anything like that happens in the U.S. before the election then Trump will certainly say, "Crazy Kamala can't protect us! Only I can save America!" etc etc.

If anything like that happens in the U.S. the NY Post would say: Biden Administration busting family businesses.

This story keeps getting worse.
The father was allowed into Canada AFTER he was filmed dismembering a prisoner.
