''The alleged attack was going to target Toronto, an RCMP investigator said, though the exact nature of the threat falls under a publication ban. The investigator said there is no ongoing danger to residents of the city.''

Court documents filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice show the duo reside at the same address in Scarborough, an eastern suburb within Toronto. Both are Canadian citizens, according to the RCMP.

A charge sheet also alleges Ahmad Fouad Mostafa Eldidi committed an aggravated assault for the benefit of the Islamic State in 2015 somewhere outside of Canada.

Both men also face weapons charges for the possession of a machete and an axe.

The pair are currently being held in police custody, and another court appearance is scheduled for Thursday.''
