The Mounties say there have now been five Canadian youth arrested on terror-related cases since June.
RCMP are warning about a rise in violent extremism among Canadian youth, while Jewish leaders urge community members to be diligent about security after two teenagers were arrested on terror-related charges in the last five days.
The Mounties say five Canadian youth have been arrested in terror-related cases since June.
“The RCMP is seeing a concerning trend of violent extremism and terrorist use of the internet, including amongst young persons,” the Mounties said in a statement Saturday
The statement asked “adults in positions of authority” including parents, guardians, teachers and coaches, “to be alert for behaviours of concern which may be linked to violent extremism.”
Jewish and Muslim leaders across Canada have reported an increase in hate-motivated attacks since the terrorist attacks launched by Hamas on Israel on Oct. 7, and the massive military response by Israel in Gaza.
Police have made arrests in several hate-motivated incidents, including assaults and the promotion of hatred online.
The RCMP’s warning Saturday specifically addresses the radicalization of youth, often online.
