RCMP Charges Toronto Man With ISIS Terrorism as GTA Probe Yields 79 Counts

Police linked two attempted abductions to alleged hate‑motivated extremism, triggering a national‑security investigation.

Overview

  • Waleed Khan, 26, is accused of providing funds and social media accounts to ISIS, participating in and facilitating terrorist activity, and conspiring to commit murder between June 17 and Aug. 17, 2025.
  • Toronto and Peel police say Project Neapolitan produced 79 charges against Khan, Osman Azizov, 18, and Fahad Sadaat, 19, including kidnapping, attempted kidnapping with firearms, conspiracy to commit sexual assault, and hostage taking.
  • Investigators tied the case to two armed attempted abductions in the GTA on May 31 in north Toronto and June 24 in Mississauga, where passersby interrupted the attacks and the suspects fled.
  • Searches of residences recovered firearms, high‑capacity magazines, ammunition, and other evidence, and police say the offences targeted women and members of the Jewish community.
  • RCMP’s INSET ran a parallel national‑security probe that led to the terrorism charges against Khan, who was arrested Nov. 26 and is due in court Jan. 29, 2026, with all allegations unproven in court.
