Two members of the military's elite special forces unit are under investigation for their alleged involvement in the convoy protest in Ottawa, according to a statement from the Department of National Defence.
A source within the special forces, who spoke on condition of confidentiality
because they were not authorized to speak publicly, said the two members are part of Joint Task Force 2,
also known as JTF2, a special elite unit working in counter-terrorism, protective services and special reconnaissance.
