VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Canadian police arrested and charged four people, including active members of the Canadian military, who were allegedly involved in an extremist plot to forcibly take possession of land in the Quebec City region, authorities said Tuesday. Royal Canadian Mounted Police said in a statement that three of the suspects “took concrete actions to facilitate terrorist activity.” Marc-Aurèle Chabot, 24, and Raphaël Lagacé, 25, both of Quebec City, and Simon Angers-Audet, 24, of Neuville, Quebec, were charged with facilitating terrorist activity. They were arrested early Tuesday in Quebec City.
