The man, name not released yet, was stopped at Toronto Pearson airport on Tuesday. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said he was bound for Cairo, then Somalia. His plans were to join al-Shabab. The US and Canada consider this a terror group. He wanted to participate in their terrorist activities. He was charged under federal law with attempting to participate in their terrorist activities and with providing counsel to a person to participate in such activity, police said. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said he would be identified when charges are formally laid in court on Wednesday. Anti-terror police began investigating him in October, and arrested him without incident after learning he planned to travel to Somali to link up with al-Shabab, police said.
