Four men in Quebec, including two active members of the Canadian Armed Forces, were arrested and charged in what Canadian police say is a case of “ideologically motivated violent extremism.”

Canada’s national police have arrested four men, including two active members of the Canadian Forces, alleging that they diverted items from the military in hopes of using them to create an extremist militia and take over a plot of land north of Quebec City.

Three men underwent shooting, ambush and survival training while planning to "forcibly" seize land in the Québec City area, police say.
