Alberta RCMP say the actions of a man accused of firing shots and throwing Molotov cocktails inside Edmonton city hall earlier this year are believed to be “politically motivated.”
RCMP announced its Integrated National Security Enforcement Team has charged Bezhani Sarvar, 28, with counselling commission of a terrorism offence and possession of property for terrorist purposes.
In a news conference Tuesday, RCMP Supt. Glenn Sells said Sarvar’s actions reached the legal threshold required to support terrorism charges.
“Our investigation shows that his actions, including the use of violence, led us to believe that this was a politically motivated crime and ultimately led to the supporting terrorism offences here,”
