WINDSOR, Ont. — The RCMP has laid terrorism charges in absentia against a 27-year-old man from Windsor, Ont.

Ahmad Waseem is charged with facilitating a terrorist activity, participating in terrorist activity and with leaving Canada to participate in the activities of a terrorist group.

An arrest warrant has been issued for Waseem and Interpol has been notified.
