The RCMP says a Quebec man is facing a charge of attempting to leave Canada to participate in the activities of a terrorist group.
Authorities announced the charge today against Ismael Habib, who is scheduled to return to a Montreal courtroom today.
Habib, 28, was arraigned on a charge of giving false information in order to obtain a passport and appeared briefly in court on Thursday.
A federal prosecutor told reporters she was also seeking a peace bond against Habib _ a measure that would restrict his activities and keep him under surveillance.
The resident of Gatineau, Que., near Ottawa, was already detained in an unrelated case on charges of criminal harassment and possessing false documents.
Gatineau police said they arrested Habib after they received a domestic violence complaint against him in late February.
