Canadian police detain possible terrorist attacker

Canadian police announced Wednesday evening they had detained a suspect after warning of a potential terrorist attack.


"Earlier today, the RCMP received credible information of a potential terrorist threat. A suspect was identified and the proper course of action has been taken to ensure that there is no danger to the public's safety," the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said in a statement.

With the purpose of creating mass causalities, the suspect allegedly planned to set off a suicide explosion in public areas, reported local media.

Information the police received included a photo of a man wearing a balaclava, but it is not clear if the man pictured was the suspect detained by RCMP.

"As this is still an unfolding matter and that the investigation is still underway, we are not able to provide further comment at this time," the RCMP said.

"We encourage Canadians to remain alert and to immediately report any suspicious or unusual behavior to their local police," added the RCMP.
