CALGARY — The RCMP is investigating two more men with suspected ties to Calgary who allegedly left Canada to participate in the Syrian civil war, according to community members.

Both men are from Windsor, Ont., but are believed to have spent time in Calgary, where counter-terrorism investigators have been asking questions about at least ten jihadist recruits.

Two RCMP officers from Ontario travelled to Calgary in late May as part of their investigation of the Windsor men, said Abdulla Barahim, president of the Islamic Information Society of Calgary.

He said the officers showed him photos of the pair but he did not recognize them. The society operates a downtown prayer centre next to an apartment building where the circle of extremists once met.

The police force declined to comment. “The RCMP continues to monitor the issue of Canadians going abroad to participate in terrorism-related activities, and when warranted, we commence the appropriate criminal investigations,” said Sgt. Greg Cox.
