Authorities recently uncovered an ISIS-inspired plot to carry out a "knife and gun" attack at a "public place" in Canada, NBC News reports.
Anonymous intelligence officials told the American news network "that some of the discussions raise the possibility of attacks on U.S. citizens and other U.S. and Western targets in Canada."
The sources stressed that the possible attacks were at the "aspirational" stage, NBC reported.
It's not clear which "public place" was targeted.
Authorities in Canada and the U.S. fear an ISIS-like attack, where either someone is publicly beheaded or citizens are slashed at until cops arrive to shoot and "martyr" the terrorists, NBC reported.
"While I cannot comment on operational matters of national security, I can say that security agencies are constantly evaluating the terrorist threat and taking action to protect Canadians," said Jason Tamming, spokesman for Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Steven Blaney.
