Canadian police said the arrest of an Ottawa man on terrorism charges is connected to the arrests of eight men in Britain.
Mohammed Momin Khawaja, a Canadian citizen, is accused of being involved in terrorist-related activity in Ottawa and “at or near the city of London,” police said in a website statement.
In the British arrests Tuesday, police seized half a ton of ammonium nitrate, a substance used in the Bali nightclub and Oklahoma City bombings.
Khawaja’s attorney, Steven Greenberg, said he had seen nothing in the evidence to support the charges.
