This report is drawn from police theory and interviews.
On the day Michael Zehaf-Bibeau brought home-grown Islamic terrorism to Ottawa, first at the National War Memorial and later Parliament Hill, police say another accused terrorist in the capital was bragging to an undercover police agent that he had “bigger plans.”
According to sources, on Oct. 22 2014, Ashton Larmond allegedly told the agent that he could have easily pulled off the minutes-long attack that ended with the lone gunman dead inside Parliament Hill. Larmond, a one-time Vanier resident who gave up his street life in 2011 for Islam, also allegedly revealed to the police agent in another conversation that he wouldn’t attack Prime Minister Stephen Harper because it would lack impact.
Instead, according to police, Larmond allegedly told the agent that if he carried out an attack on Canadian soil, it would be by storming a military base with a group of armed comrades who would target Afghanistan veterans from the back of a dump truck.
Ashton Carleton Larmond and his twin brother Carlos Honor Larmond, both 24, are facing terrorism-related charges that, according to the RCMP, have Ashton counselling Ottawa associates to fight for ISIL in Syria. The Mounties arrested Carlos Larmond at a Montreal airport on Jan. 9, and his twin brother Ashton was cuffed the same day. The RCMP charges allege that Carlos was leaving the country to wage jihad. The accused brothers have yet to stand trial and none of the allegations made against them has been proven in court.
According to Ottawa police, his arrest in January wasn’t the first time the RCMP came calling for Ashton Larmond.
The Citizen has learned that on Sept. 1, 2013, the twins’ mother called Ottawa police to report that Ashton allegedly had plans to go to Syria and fight for ISIL, the Sunni-based jihadist movement that aspires to establish an Islamic caliphate across parts of Iraq and Syria.
Ottawa police say that they immediately contacted the RCMP and that within hours, Ashton’s mother was interviewed. She is alleged to have said that her son had purchased an airline ticket to Istanbul and had already packed his luggage.
Police say that it would be 17 days before Passport Canada revoked Ashton Larmond’s papers. Larmond is said to have later told the Mounties in an interview that he was upset he couldn’t travel overseas and, allegedly, Larmond later told an associate that he didn’t understand why the federal government wouldn’t want him to leave the country if they thought he was a terrorist — a label he has denied.
Carlos Larmond.
According to sources, the twins’ mother raised more concerns in a Feb. 4, 2014, RCMP interview in which she allegedly tells investigators she came home the other day and found Larmond sitting in the living room, dejected over the fact the government wouldn’t let him head over to the Middle East.
The next day, on Feb. 5, 2014, investigators say that they found Ashton Larmond at the Salvation Army’s shelter for men on George Street and that he agreed to an interview at the RCMP’s INSET office.
In the interview that has gone unreported until now, Ashton Larmond told investigators that his mother had confused what he had said, and clearly explained his 2013 travel plans. He said he was going to live in Saudia Arabia to study Arabic after backpacking in Turkey.
Larmond also told investigators that he’d never harm a Canadian citizen or anyone else because that would be against Islam, and that he’s only allowed defend himself.
Plus, he told them: “I’m not an idiot like the Toronto 18 guys.”
He also told them, according to sources, that he was upset that the government had put a halt on his travel plans to the Middle East.

Police agencies involved in the terror case against the Larmond twins believe that Ashton, upset he couldn’t leave the country to wage jihad himself, decided instead to counsel and facilitate others to do so, according to the RCMP charge sheet.
On Dec. 22 2014, his twin brother Carlos booked a Jan. 9 flight to India via Frankfurt departing from Montreal. Sources indicate that Carlos was arrested by the RCMP right after he checked his luggage.
Information obtained from sources indicates that Carlos paid cash for a return flight from Delhi via Munich, arriving in Montreal on Jan. 23.
What we didn’t know until now is that Carlos Larmond, who is accused of trying to leave the country to fight jihad, is also said to have purchased cancellation insurance.
Also, in the days leading to his Jan. 9 departure, Carlos allegedly sold several personal items on the website kijjiji.ca, including a dirt bike and car.
The twin brothers are both at a Toronto jail awaiting their long trip through the criminal justice system.
Police have charged Ashton Larmond with facilitating terrorist activity, participating in the activity of a terrorist group, and instructing to carry out activity for a terrorist group. His brother Carlos has been charged with participating in the activity of a terrorist group and attempting to leave Canada to participate in terrorist activity abroad. The two men have yet to stand trial and none of the allegations have been proven in court.
