The identity of the suspect was withheld due to the Youth Criminal Justice Act. The investigation, initiated after the FBI shared intelligence, began a few weeks ago. Police allege the youth planned an attack at a school in Montreal and threatened various groups on Telegram using AI. A peace bond has been sought to monitor and de-escalate the situation. The youth was set to appear in Montreal's Youth Division courthouse on Friday.",
