He was shot dead in an anti-terror operation in the Canadian province of Ontario, media reports said on Wednesday 08/10/2016.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) only said that “action has been taken” against a lone suspect. Canadian media said police had raided a property in Strathroy, about 225km (140 miles) south-west of Toronto.

The RCMP statement said it had received “credible information of a potential terrorist threat”.

“A suspect was identified and the proper course of action has been taken to ensure that there is no danger to the public’s safety,” it added. “As this is still an unfolding matter and the investigation is still under way, we are not able to provide further comment at this time.”

CBC News said Aaron Driver’s family had confirmed his death. It said that police had told the family that Driver had detonated an explosive device, injuring himself and another person.

Aaron Driver was intending to detonate a second device and that was why police shot him, the report said.

Aaron Driver (Abdurahman) was known for tweeting his support of I.S.I.S, and he applauded the 2014 attack on Parliament Hill and encouraged ISIS to target Canadian military and police. 

Aaron Driver pledged allegiance to ISIS and, according to FBI tip, was about to commit his own bombs attack, already  had made a “martyrdom video” and was planning the attack within 72 hours in an urban centre during morning or afternoon rush hour.

His mother died when he was 7 and he never kept close relations with his father. He converted to Islam as a grown up teenager looking for meaning in life and went through radicalisation in 2014 with the sudan emerging of the Islamic State as a Muslim Caliphate .
