OTTAWA, Aug.11 (Xinhua) -- A suspected ISIS sympathizer was killed in the southern Ontario town of Strathroy by Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Wednesday night hours after RCMP warned a potential terrorist threat, according to CBC Thursday.
The ISIS sympathizer named Aaron Driver, 24, was killed inside a home in the town of Strathroy, some 220 kilometres west of Toronto. He was well known to Canadian intelligence and police officials for his support for the Islamist terrorist group.

"The RCMP received credible information of a potential terrorist threat," an RCMP statement said Wednesday evening. "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."
