In brief
Four men have been arrested in Quebec, charged with plotting an armed land seizure described by authorities as ideologically motivated extremism. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) announced the arrests, revealing they had seized a substantial cache of weapons, explosives, and ammunition from the group.
The men, aged 24 to 33, are from various locations and include members of the Canadian military. Charges include facilitating terrorist acts and weapons offenses. The police have not disclosed which of the accused are active military members, and further information about the group's ideology remains unclear. Police photos indicate a larger group involved in military-style training exercises. The investigation, part of a national security effort, has been ongoing for over a year. Notable findings during earlier raids included explosive devices and firearms, highlighting the severity of the situation.
