Major Terror Bust in Ontario...

[aZnExpert_SK28]

TORONTO (CP) - Police have arrested 17 people and foiled a series of terrorist attacks on targets in southern Ontario.

The RCMP have charged 12 Ontario men who were to appear in court later Saturday in Brampton, west of Toronto. The men range in age from 19 to 43, and are residents of Toronto, Mississauga and Kingston.

Five youths who cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act have also been arrested and charged.

The announcement came at a news conference following a series of arrests Friday night on a group that the Mounties say posed a "real and serious threat."

In addition to the arrests, police recovered three tonnes of ammonium nitrate, a commonly used fertilizer used in the making of explosives.

"It was their intent to use it for a terrorist attack," said RCMP Asst. Commissioner Mike McDonell. "If I can put this in context for you, the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City that killed 168 people was completed with only one tonne of ammonium nitrate."

"This group posed a real and serious threat," he added. "It had the capacity and intent to carry out these acts."

Police say the Toronto Transit Commission - a public transit system that includes buses, subways and streetcars - was not among the targets.

Luc Portelance of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service said those arrested are Canadian residents from variety of backgrounds.

The sweep began Friday night in co-operation with an Integrated National Security Enforcement Team, or INSET.

INSET teams are made up of members of the RCMP, CSIS, federal agencies such as the Canada Border Services Agency and Citizenship and Immigration Canada, and provincial and municipal police services.

The dramatic events raised the chilling prospect of a terrorist assault on Canadian soil - which authorities have feared since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the U.S.

Scores of officers, many heavily armed, took suspects into custody at a - police station in Pickering, Ont., east of Toronto, following the raids.

If a Tiger comes into your village at night and kills a couple kids you dont wake up in the morning and hunt BEARS... Freaking Racial Profiling is the ONLY WAY TO GO... I am Italian if Italian people were blowing up shit I would have no problem being profiled every time I took a air flight.. Its totally insane... Coming home from Park City a couple of years ago I was so HUNG OVER had not shaved in days, sunglasses on and looking ragged as hell... But they pick the 70 year old lady in the wheelchair in front of me to look in her suitcase and search... Me right through the line????? When I ask the airline employee how the hell that just happened he replied its a number thing.. IDIOTS.... Hunt the ****ing TIGER MORON......

Come on Ziggy maybe no 70 year old woman in a wheelchair has ever committed a terrorist act BEFORE, but don't you know there is a first time for everything????

LMAO, yeah I would say that is about the height of stupidity, this irrational politically correct garbage just makes me sick every time I hear about it... so needless to say I feel sick quite often!!!

I think they should arrest some extremist Jews to balance it out. The Muslims are not fighting a one sided war contrary to popular belief. Also airports should screen 1 Jew for every Muslim, to make it fair.

"Servants of the Devil" LMAO.

Black-White, Good-Evil it's the human condition.

[aZnExpert_SK28]

This is sad news. These people that got arrested are Canadians. They were born here, educated here and live here, how can they do this to their own country?

[Blackbeard Pimp]

easy...

to them it's NOT their country. Their god and leader is Muhammad and they listen to his so-called prophet, Osama or whatever cleric they believe has the right teachings of muhammad. They could give a shit about canada or their people, they see themselves as arabs and muslims and muhammad speaks to them.
Sick people, need to murdered in the streets in front of everyone to see!

WTF do the jews got to do with this. i've never once heard of a jew strapping on a bomb and blowing himself up to take innocent life. Don't turn this into a religon racial war beef.
