Canadian officials have charged a man in connection with a plot involving the Islamic State, accusing him of sharing information with ISIS and planning to commit murder. Authorities have also linked him to various alleged hate crimes targeting the Jewish community.

Waleed Khan, a 26-year-old resident of Toronto, faces charges of conspiring to commit murder for a terrorist organization, providing resources to ISIS, and facilitating terrorist activities, according to a statement from Toronto police on Friday.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police report that Khan’s alleged offenses occurred between June 17 and August 17.

Beyond the terrorism-related charges, Khan and two other individuals are also accused of executing several attacks against women and members of the Jewish community, authorities revealed.

Khan is facing numerous charges, including allegations of conspiring with the Islamic State to relay information to ISIS and two attempted kidnappings, as confirmed by Toronto police.

Osman Azizov, 18, and Fahad Sadaat, 19, were arrested in two alleged attempted kidnappings in the Greater Toronto Area in May and June, according to Toronto police. 

In May, authorities say a woman was approached by the three men — one armed with a handgun and another with a knife — who then attempted to force her into a vehicle. However, the three individuals allegedly fled when approached by another motorist.

Less than one month later, the three men allegedly approached a pair of women while carrying a handgun, rifle and knife. Authorities said they began chasing the victims until a nearby witness intervened. 

After taking the three suspects into custody, authorities said investigators discovered a trove of guns and evidence suggesting the commission of additional hate crimes targeting members of the Jewish community.

Police say 79 charges have been brought against the three men, with each facing 14 charges, including attempted kidnapping with a firearm, sexual assault with a weapon and hate crimes.

“What began as armed, coordinated attempts to kidnap women led to significant arrests and charges, stopping a dangerous escalation of hate-motivated crimes and terrorism across the Greater Toronto Area and beyond,” Peel Regional Police Chief Nishan Duraiappah said in a statement. 

“Thank you to our investigators and partners at the Toronto Police Service and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for their collaboration and tireless efforts to keep our communities safe.”
