A teenager arrested in a counter-terrorism operation in Kingston last year pleaded guilty to terrorism on Tuesday.
The youth, who was 16 at the time and cannot be named because he is a minor, pleaded guilty to five charges, including facilitating terrorist activity.
The plot involved a bombing that was to be conducted for the so-called Islamic State, the Crown told the court.
But the terrorist operation was infiltrated by an undercover informant working for the FBI, which tipped off the RCMP.
He also admitted to possession of an explosive substance with intent to endanger life and counseling another person to detonate an explosive.
(Sidebar: do note how the Americans informed the RCMP. Why look into terrorist acts or mass shootings?)
