RCMP Federal Policing Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (INSET), along with Calgary police, arrested 20-year-old Zakarya Rida Hussein on Thursday.
The alleged offences took place on May 14, the accused’s 20th birthday.

However, it is unclear what the terrorist activity was.
Court documents also show that between June 1 and June 15, the suspect allegedly possessed and prepared explosive-making instructions that would have knowingly facilitated or contributed to terrorist activity.
He currently remains in custody.
None of the allegations have been proven in court.
