GTA Investigation Links Attempted Kidnappings to ISIS as RCMP Charges Toronto Man With Terrorism

Officials say the joint investigation connected hate-motivated offences to a separate RCMP case alleging ISIS involvement.

Overview

  • Three Toronto men — Waleed Khan, 26, Osman Azizov, 18, and Fahad Sadaat, 19 — face 79 charges under Project Neapolitan for offences targeting women and members of the Jewish community.
  • RCMP allege Khan conspired to commit murder for a terrorist group and provided property and social media accounts to benefit ISIS between June 17 and Aug. 17, 2025.
  • The probe was triggered by armed attempted kidnappings on May 31 in Toronto’s Don Mills area and June 24 in Mississauga, where suspects fled after passersby intervened.
  • Search warrants at Toronto residences seized firearms, ammunition and high-capacity magazines, which investigators say expanded the case to hate-motivated crimes and terrorism links.
  • Police say the charges stem from coordinated local and national investigations, and all allegations remain untested in court as proceedings move forward.
