A third suspect has been taken into custody in connection with the investigation into hockey playing Ottawa twins arrested late last week on terrorism charges, including one as he was allegedly about to board a flight overseas.

Suliman Mohamed, 21, was arrested in Ottawa on Monday and charged with participation in the activity of a terrorism group. The RCMP confirmed the arrest was linked to Friday’s arrests of Ashton and Carlos Larmond.

“These recent arrests underscore the reality that there are individuals in Ontario and in Canada who have become radicalized to a violent ideology, and who are willing to act upon it,” said RCMP Chief Superintendent Jennifer Strachan.

The latest arrest comes three days after Carlos Larmond was stopped at Montreal’s Trudeau airport. He was ticketed to transit through Frankfurt to New Delhi but authorities suspected the second leg of his trip may have been a ruse. Frankfurt is a popular travel hub for Western extremists on their way to Syria and Iraq via Turkey.
