An Ottawa man has been arrested and charged for making “terrorism-related threats” to Canada’s parliament and the US and Chinese embassies, federal police said on Tuesday.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police anti-terrorism squad said in a statement that the suspect had posted numerous threats on Twitter.
