Mohamed Abdullah Warsame, 51, faces legal action after allegedly threatening to carry out an attack in Montreal on June 5, 2025.
In 2009, Warsame admitted guilt in Minnesota to aiding the terrorist group al-Qaida and was returned to Canada the following year.
Montreal police reported to the RCMP that Warsame informed a shelter worker he intended to carry out an attack targeting numerous casualties.
Warsame appeared via videoconference at a Montreal court earlier today to respond to charges linked to his alleged threats.
The charges and previous conviction indicate ongoing concerns about Warsame's potential to commit violence linked to terrorist motives in Canada.
