The peace bond would enable police to keep a close eye on Driver, 23,and put a restriction on his activities.

The application states the RCMPhave "reasonable grounds to fear" Driver will "participate in or contribute to, directly or indirectly, the activity of a terrorist group to facilitate or carry out a terrorist activity."

The Mountiesraided Driver's rentalhome in the city's Charleswood neighbourhood on Thursday andtook out garbage bags containing what appeared to be computer towers.

The RCMPsaid there is an "ongoing criminal investigation."

"Police may pursue the order (a recognizance) with conditions such as to keep the peace and be of good behaviour if they have reasonable grounds to believe that a person may commit a terrorism offence," the RCMPsaidin a statement.

Driver is still in custody and his next court appearance is on June 9.

RCMPadded: "We encourage the public to remain vigilant and to report any information on terrorism or related suspicious activities to the National Security Information Network at 1-800-420-5805 or by contacting the police in their community."
