It seems Canada has been paying attention after all. They started
rounding up moslem religious morons, together with "tonnes" of explosive
materials.
It is not known at this time just exactly whom the Religion of Peace was
planning to murder, or what they wanted to blow up, with the bombs.
====================================================================
Police in Canada have arrested and charged 12 men who they say were
planning an "al-Qaeda-inspired" bombing campaign in and around Toronto.
Five other youths have also been charged, following an investigation
involving more than 400 officers.
Police seized bomb-making materials in a series of raids in Toronto,
including three tonnes of ammonium nitrate.
Officials said the group "posed a real and serious threat" with "the
capacity and intent to carry out these attacks".
Ammonium nitrate is a commonly-used fertiliser.
"To put it in context, the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building
in Oklahoma City that killed 168 people was completed with only one ton
of ammonium nitrate," said Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)
assistant commissioner Mike McDonell.
"Our investigation and arrests prevented the assembly of any bombs and
the attacks from being carried out," he added.
Southern Ontario is one of the country's main economic and business
centres.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Canada had been targeted because of
its way of life and "was not sheltered from the terrorist threat".
"Today, Canada's security and intelligence measures worked. Canada's new
government will pursue its efforts to ensure the national security of
all Canadians," he said.
'Violent ideology'
Officials showed what they said was evidence of bomb-making materials, a
computer hard drive, camouflage uniforms and what appeared to be a door
with bullet holes in it.
The RCMP and other government security agencies, including intelligence
and border security, have been conducting a lengthy investigation
involving 400 people - the largest of its kind in Canada.
Police said those arrested on Friday were all Canadian residents "of
different origins", most of them citizens - some were students, some
employed, others unemployed.
The suspects appeared to have "chosen a violent ideology inspired by
al-Qaeda", said Luc Portelance, assistant director of operations for the
Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), Canada's spy agency.
More arrests are said to be possible.
The suspects are to appear in a Toronto area court later on Saturday.
