[URL="http://www.cbc.ca/news/terror-threat-arrest-rcmp-1.3715969"]http://www.cbc.ca/news/terror-threat-arrest-rcmp-1.3715969[/URL] [QUOTE]CBC News has confirmed that Aaron Driver, a suspect being sought in connection with a terror threat, has been killed in a confrontation with police in Strathroy, Ont. A family member confirmed the death of the 24-year-old. CBC News has learned that Driver's family was told by the RCMP that police shot Driver after he detonated an explosive device that injured himself and another person. The family was also told Driver had another device that he was going to detonate, which is why police shot him. A senior police official told Canadian Press Wednesday the suspect allegedly planned to use a bomb to carry out a suicide bombing mission in a public area but was killed in a police operation. Driver, a known ISIS supporter, agreed to the conditions of a peace bond in a Winnipeg court earlier this year after being arrested in June 2015. By agreeing to the peace bond, Driver was "consenting or acknowledging that there are reasonable grounds to fear that he may participate, contribute — directly or indirectly — in the activity of a terrorist group."

[quote]"As this is still an unfolding matter and that the investigation is still underway, we are not able to provide further comment at this time," the RCMP said.[/quote]

Good.

[quote]Police went to the home of Aaron Driver in the small town of Strathroy after receiving credible information, including a "martyrdom video," from U.S. authorities that he planned what could have been a "dreadful" attack, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said at a news conference. Driver died after he detonated an explosive device in the backseat of a taxi as police closed in and opened fire, the RCMP said in Ottawa. A representative from a local taxi company said a cab had been dispatched to Driver's address at the time of the police raid and the taxi driver sustained minor injuries. The video provided by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation allowed the RCMP to identify Driver and go to his home in Strathroy, about 225 km (140 miles) southwest of Toronto. In Washington, the FBI said it gave the RCMP "actionable threat intelligence".[/quote] [url]http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/aaron-driver-imminent-attack-1.3716997[/url] - VLC in the background. lol Based on the articles it looks like the FBI found his martyrdom video and didn't know who it was. But since Canada was specified as the target they sent it to as many of Canada's police agencies as possible. Then the RCMP realized who it was and went to the suspect's house just as he was getting in a taxi. [quote]At an earlier news conference in Ottawa, Mike Cabana, the RCMP's deputy commissioner for federal policing, said the FBI came into possession of the martyrdom video and tipped off the Mounties about 8:30 a.m. Wednesday. The video, which the RCMP aired at the news conference, shows a man wearing a balaclava speaking directly to the camera pledging allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and railing against Western "enemies of Islam." The man said he was responding to a call for violence, adding, "we are thirsty for your blood" and praised recent attacks in France and Brussels before promising to act in Canada. The RCMP said they were able to identify the person in the video as Driver by about 11 a.m.[/quote]
