Quebec election: Arrest in online threat against Muslim candidate

Police arrested a Morin Heights man on Tuesday for making a death threat against an independent candidate during the provincial election campaign.
The 61-year-old man was arrested and released on a promise to appear in court, said Cindi Paré, a spokesperson with the Quebec City police department.
Ali Dahan, an independent candidate in the Quebec City riding of Jean-Talon, was obliged to limit his campaign to his home after local police told him he was the target of an online threat.
