VANCOUVER — A trial is set to start today for two people accused of plotting to use pressure-cooker bombs to attack the British Columbia legislature on Canada Day.
John Nuttall and Amanda Korody were arrested in July 2013 on terrorism-related charges.
An indictment filed in the case says Nuttall and Korody are charged with facilitating terrorist activity. They are also charged with conspiring to commit murder, conspiring to place explosives in a public place, and possessing explosives — all on behalf of a terrorist group.
Nuttall and Korody both entered pleas of not guilty last month at the start of jury selection.
The case spent the past year making its way through various pre-trial hearings, though nearly everything heard in court is covered by a sweeping publication ban.
The trial is expected to last about 18 weeks.
