ARTICLE SNIPPET: “VIENNA (Reuters) - Canadian police have arrested a fourth suspect in connection with three Austrians linked to al Qaeda who were detained in Vienna on Wednesday, the Austrian Interior Ministry said on Thursday.

Canadian police later said they had arrested Said Namouh, 35, in the town of Maskinonge in the French-speaking province of Quebec on Wednesday. He was charged on Thursday with plotting to cause explosions in a foreign country.

Austrian officials said the man had been in contact with the three arrested in Vienna, who are suspected of having posted a video message on the Internet threatening attacks on Austria and Germany.

“The man in Canada was arrested at the same time as the three in Vienna,” said Interior Ministry spokesman Rudolf Gollia. “They communicated a number of times through online Internet forums and by e-mail.”

Gollia said the suspect arrested in Canada was of African descent but declined to give any further details. Canadian police said Namouh — arrested after a joint operation with Austrian authorities — had posed no direct threat to Canada.”
