Carlos Larmond faces charges of participation in the activity of a terrorist group and attempting to leave Canada to participate in terrorist activity abroad.

The news release says the arrests were made on Friday _ Ashton Larmond was arrested in Ottawa while Carlos Larmond was arrested at Montreal's Trudeau international airport.

Police say a court date has yet to be determined. They add they won't comment further because the case is before the courts.
