The RCMP say they have charged three men with facilitating a terrorist activity in a plot to create an “anti-government militia” in Quebec and a fourth with multiple explosives and firearms charges.

Some of those charged are “active members of the Canadian Armed Forces,” the RCMP said in a statement.

According to authorities, all four men “were allegedly involved in activities intending to forcibly take possession of land in the Québec City area” and describe the case as one of “ideologically motivated violent extremism.”

“That land would become theirs and that’s how you would start a new society is have your own land and a place where to start planning,” said Staff Sgt. Camille Habel with the Quebec RCMP national security team.
