SDVQUÉBEC - A judge has put off a decision until Wednesday on whether to grant bail to three men facing terrorism charges in an alleged plot to forcibly seize land in the Quebec City area.
Quebec court Judge René de la Sablonnière heard evidence and arguments over three days, and was expected to rule on Thursday but told lawyers he needed more time.
Simon Angers-Audet, 24, Raphaël Lagacé, 25, and Marc-Aurèle Chabot, 24, face charges of facilitating a terrorist activity, and other charges related to the illegal storage of firearms and possession of explosives and prohibited devices.
There is a publication ban on details of the bail hearing, which heard from an RCMP officer, the three accused and several of their family members.
A fourth accused — Matthew Forbes, 33 — is facing weapons charges and was granted bail under a lengthy list of conditions that include wearing a GPS tracking bracelet.
The ºÃÉ«tv Armed Forces have said Forbes and Chabot were active members of the military at the time of their arrest on July 8.
