Quebec provincial police say man faces terrorism-related charges

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 08 Dec, 2014 10:37 AM

    MONTREAL — Quebec provincial police say they've arrested a man on terrorism-related charges.

    Police say Nejib Belhaj-Chtioui was the subject of an outstanding warrant and was arrested Sunday at Montreal's Pierre Elliott Trudeau airport upon returning from Tunisia.

    Belhaj-Chtioui is expected to appear in court in Montreal this afternoon.

    Authorities say he will face two charges relating to the terrorism hoax section of the Criminal Code — conveying information and committing an act to cause reasonable concern that it is connected to a terrorist activity.

    The investigation was conducted by a provincial police unit that probes extremist threats.
