VIENNA, Austria -- Canadian authorities have arrested a 35-year-old man they believe is linked to international threats to bomb targets outside Canada.
Said Namouh was arrested on conspiracy charges Wednesday morning in Maskinonge, Que., northeast of Montreal.
He was picked up in connection with an Austrian investigation into online threats against targets in Austria and Germany, said RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Elaine Lavergne.
"He was plotting to explode (a device) outside of Canada,'' Lavergne said. "We want to reassure people that the investigation being carried out has never found a direct threat to Canada.''
Namouh is slated to make a court appearance in Montreal on Friday morning.
Austrian authorities rounded up three alleged al Qaeda sympathizers earlier this week -- two men and a woman, all Austrian citizens in their 20s and of Arab origin.
They believe the three suspects are tied to a video that surfaced in March threatening to attack Germany and Austria unless the two countries withdrew their personnel from Afghanistan.
