Police say it was an FBI tip early Wednesday that alerted them to the "imminent threat" posed by Aaron Driver, who was later killed in a confrontation in Strathroy, Ont.

RCMP Deputy Commissioner Mike Cabana says the tip included a video of Driver, 24, and a warning that he planned to detonate a homemade explosive device in an urban centre during morning or afternoon rush hour.

In the video, aired during a news conference in Ottawa, a masked Driver is seen railing against western "enemies of Islam" and warning that the only solution would be the "spilling of your blood."

The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation tipped off the RCMP about a person who was potentially planning a terrorist attack in Canada, says Reuters, which led the RCMP to a small Ontario town where they ended up killing a known ISIS sympathizer.

After receiving the tip Wednesday morning, police responded to what they called "a potential terrorist threat" in Strathroy.

Aaron Driver, 24, who had been under a peace bond for openly supporting ISIS on social media, was killed by police.

RCMP told the man's family that Driver was shot after he detonated a device that wounded himself and one other person. The identity of the other person isn't clear. Police told Driver's family they had to shoot him because he had another device and planned to detonate it. A senior police official told The Canadian Press on Wednesday that the man allegedly planned to use a bomb to carry out a suicide attack in a public area.
