Montreal police have arrested a man previously convicted of supporting al-Qaeda, after he allegedly said he wanted to kill a large number of people by detonating bombs on public transit.

Mohammed Abdullah Warsame, 51, has been charged with uttering threats after he allegedly told an employee at a homeless shelter he intended to carry out an attack, RCMP said in a June 5 release.
