A man who appeared on “Canadian Idol” was the third person arrested as part of a suspected plot against targets in Canada and abroad, the police said Thursday. The two other suspects made a brief appearance in court on Thursday on charges that they had plans to make and use bombs. The police arrested Hiva Alizadeh, 30, and Misbahuddin Ahmed, 26, in Ottawa on Wednesday and Khurram Syed Sher in London, Ontario, on Thursday. All three are Canadian. Mr. Sher, 28, appeared on “Canadian Idol” in 2008 and sang a comical version of Avril Lavigne’s “Complicated.” The police said the plot ranged from Canada to Iran, Afghanistan, Dubai and Pakistan, but did not elaborate.
