The federal government is looking at whether it can revoke the citizenship of a man accused of planning a terror attack in Toronto, Immigration Minister Marc Miller said Wednesday.
“I’m as disgusted as any Canadian. But I have a responsibility to get to the bottom of it and I will,” he said during a morning news conference in Church Point, N.S.
“I’m also going to take the next step, which is to start the preliminary work with the evidence at hand to look at whether the individual in question’s citizenship should be revoked.”
Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi, 62, and his son Mostafa Eldidi, 26, face multiple charges including conspiracy to commit murder for the benefit or at the direction of a terrorist group. They were arrested on July 28.
