Montreal teen allegedly committed robbery to help terrorist group

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 28 Jan, 2015 10:36 AM

    MONTREAL — A 15-year-old Montreal boy will return to court in mid-February to have a trial date set in connection with a pair of terrorism-related charges.

    The teenager appeared briefly in youth court this morning and saw the case put off.

    Federal prosecutors allege he committed a robbery for the benefit of an unspecified terrorist organization.

    Authorities also say the adolescent wished to leave Canada to participate in the activities of a terrorist group abroad.

    While the teen has pleaded guilty to the robbery charge laid by a provincial prosecutor, a sentencing scheduled for today will now take place only when the federal matter is settled.

    The case returns to court Feb. 16.
