OTTAWA - The cases of three Ontario men accused of terrorist offences will go directly to trial without a preliminary hearing.
In addition to the direct indictments, the Public Prosecution Service of Canada announced new charges against the men.
Misbahuddin Ahmed and Hiva Mohammad Alizadeh of Ottawa, and Khurram Syed Sher, of London, Ont., were arrested in August 2010 in the case known as Project Samossa.
They are charged with various offences including conspiring to facilitate terrorist activity.
In 2010, police said they seized terrorist literature, videos and manuals, along with dozens of electronic circuit boards allegedly designed to detonate homemade bombs remotely.
Police said the alleged plot reached to Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Dubai.
