Canada charges 17 in plot to blow up buildings
 

TORONTO - A group of Canadian residents arrested in coordinated raids across the Toronto area for ?terrorism-related offenses? had planned to blow up targets around southern Ontario, Canadian police said on Saturday.

Mike McDonnell, assistant commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, said the group had acquired three metric tons of ammonium nitrate ? or three times the amount used in the 1995 bombing in Oklahoma City ? as they sought to ?create explosive devices.? Police said they had arrested 12 adults and five young people.

?This group posed a real and serious threat,? McDonnell said. ?It had the capacity and intent to carry out attacks. Our investigation and arrests prevented the assembly of any bombs and the attacks being carried out.?

Were the Parliament buildings high on their list? :1orglaugh

most canadians probably wouldnt have cared unless they hit a sports center like the ACC - if they truly wanted cripple Toronto - take out the old Maple Leaf Gardens.

Glad they caught the anti-Western terrorists, those kids spent so much time on forums spewing hate that it turned into a full blow terror plot, lessons to be learned here.

spooky stuff

although it wasn't actual terrorists and just fuckin whackjobs :/

Not actual terrorists? What they didnt have their Osama Club card or something?
