The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) on Tuesday laid terror charges against a Muslim man who stabbed soldiers at a Toronto military recruitment center in March, the CBC reports.

The man, Ayanle Hassan Ali, is a 27-year-old born in Montreal.

RCMP said they have charged Ali with three counts of attempted murder, two counts of committing assault causing bodily harm, three counts of committing assault using a weapon, and one count of carrying a weapon dangerous to the public, for the benefit of a terrorist group.

RCMP Const. Annie Delisle confirmed that the Mounties have laid nine separate charges against Ali. These charges are in addition to the ones laid on March 15 by Toronto police, which include three counts of attempted murder, two counts of aggravated assault, three counts of assault with a weapon, and one count of carrying a weapon dangerous to the public.

“Terrorism-related charges require a significant investigation, which can be time consuming,” assistant commissioner Jennifer Strachan, commanding officer of RCMP “O” Division, said in a release. “I would like to highlight the efforts of our INSET here in Ontario which worked diligently to obtain the evidence required for these charges.”

INSET teams are made up of representatives from multiple law-enforcement agencies that investigate national security threats.

Ali claimed under interrogation that “Allah” told him to carry out the attack, which occurred on March 14.

Police say he walked into the recruitment center and stabbed a master corporal when he tried to stop him.

Authorities said he then stabbed a second military member who tried to apprehend him.

The two who were stabbed were treated in hospital and released. Their injuries weren’t life threatening.
