2nd youth charged in connection with anti-Jewish terror plot

A young person has been charged as the alleged “co-conspirator” of a 15-year-old Ottawa boy already accused of plotting a terrorist attack against Jewish people, according to the RCMP.

In a release Friday, the RCMP said both youths are now facing charges of unlawfully conspiring and agreeing to commit murder — either for the benefit of a terrorist group, in association with one, or at one’s direction.

That is one of two new charges for the Ottawa boy, who was arrested Dec. 15 in Ottawa and was already facing five charges.

The boy was also charged Thursday with knowingly facilitating terrorist activity by making available and exchanging instructional material and propaganda, RCMP said, bringing the number of charges against him to seven.
