Full story

Halifax police have laid two more charges against a man accused in connection with a bomb threat at the United States consulate in August. The threat triggered a police response at the consulate and an investigation that ran into the weeks that followed. Investigators identified a suspect in the case and initially charged him over the incident. The fresh counts mean the case file against the man has grown as police kept working on the probe. Police have not said whether the new charges relate to other matters or to the original threat itself. Anyone accused in Canada is presumed innocent until guilt is established in court. The man will have to answer the new counts when he next appears before a judge. The case drew local attention because threats against diplomatic premises bring in security protocols and federal involvement.
