This picture posted to social media in April 2021 appears to show Mostafa Eldidi outside the Toronto home listed in court documents as his family's residence.
Mostafa Eldidi, the 26-year-old Toronto man accused of plotting a deadly ISIS-inspired rampage previously lived in Egypt and once studied at a U.S. university, CBC News has learned. He's facing terrorism charges and conspiracy to commit murder, alongside his father, Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi.This picture posted to social media in April 2021 appears to show Mostafa Eldidi outside the Toronto home listed in court documents as his family's residence.
While little is known about Mostafa Eldidi's past, his social media presence provides some clues about his whereabouts in recent years. "Our records do not indicate he earned a degree," the University of Iowa's registrar's office said in an email. The university has handled transcript requests for Iowa Wesleyan since the school closed last year.
A man who identified himself outside the home as Mostafa's brother earlier this week declined to comment on the criminal case. Representatives for both Egypt's embassy in Ottawa and foreign ministry did not immediately respond to emailed questions about whether Mostafa Eldidi and his father hold Egyptian citizenship.
"We're pretty confident how close they were to moving from simply having those tools and then moving on to actioning that threat," RCMP Supt. James Parr told reporters in July, days after the pair were arrested in a hotel in Richmond Hill, north of Toronto.
