Police in Canada say they have gunned down a sympathizer of the Takfiri ISIS terrorist group during a raid launched on “credible information” about a potential terror threat.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said in a statement on Wednesday night that, following the identification of the suspect, “the proper course of action” was “taken to ensure that there is no danger to the public’s safety.”
“The safety and security of Canadians is of the utmost importance to the RCMP and we take all such threats seriously,” the statement further read, adding that, “This is still an unfolding matter.”
According to the CTV News, the lone suspect, identified as Aaron Driver, 23, was killed in gunfire after heavily-armed police, including SWAT teams, a bomb squad, RCMP officers in tactical gear and Canada’s military special operations forces, raided his house in Strathroy, a community in the southeastern province of Ontario.
The official Canadian news organization, citing an internal government memo, added that the suspect was planning to use an improvised explosive device to carry out a bomb attack in a public area in a major Canadian city, Press TV reported.
