On September 24, 2026, it was reported by authorities that a man located in Quebec City, Canada had intended to carry out an attack on behalf of the Islamic State. There was online communication with the terrorist organization to build a chemical weapon that "could be used to poison Canadians". The counterterrorist law enforcement unit, known as Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (INSET), arrested Louay Angoud , 24, and charged him with multiple terrorism-related offences including possible life imprisonment. Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) categorized it as "religiously motivated violent extremism". The man tied to the Islamic State was in Canada illegally.
