No link yet as it's breaking news.
12 adults,5 youths and 3 tonnes of Amonium Nitrate(fertilizer) seized..that's three times the amount used in the Oklahoma City...Explosive devices,weapons etc also found.
Apparently they were planning several attacks simultaniously in Southern Ontario.

yaaaay... wiretaps?
I doubt we'll ever know the truth but it would be interesting to hear the whole story on how they busted the group(s).

Apparently it was subway video.

I sure hope their civil rights weren't violated. ;)
GJ to the toronto police and whomever else was involved.

on a more serious note:
They are young, militant and Canadian. And according to senior counterterrorism authorities, they have been plotting large-scale terrorist attacks on Canadian soil.
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service acknowledged this week it has been investigating groups of "homegrown" extremists. In candid testimony to the Senate national security committee, the agency went on to say that these young followers of the "al-Qaeda ideology" have been plotting against targets within Canada.
"They are not looking to Afghanistan, the U.K. or anywhere else," Jack Hooper, the CSIS Deputy Director of Operations, testified on Monday.
The exact targets of these young terrorists were not revealed, but it is their profile that is most shocking: young Canadian Muslims who have somehow become radicalized while growing up in Canada.
They are "homegrown." In other words, they have emerged from within Canada, rather than infiltrating it from abroad. They are insiders, not outsiders like Millennium Bomber Ahmed Ressam, who was behind Canada's last major terrorism scare in 1999.
"Increasingly, we are learning of more and more extremists that are homegrown," says a declassified CSIS report obtained by the National Post. "The implications of this shift are important."
Across the Atlantic, the term "European Jihad" is now used to describe the new generation of young Muslim extremists who not only live in Europe, but also consider it a legitimate terrorist target.
A Canadian Jihad is apparently underway as well.
Canada's top national security problem used to be the homeland terrorism that occurs when foreigners bring to Canada the violent causes of their countries of origin.
Other people's wars have been seeping into Canada for decades as a result of what intelligence officials call "the spillover effect," which is what happened when Sikh terrorists in B.C. bombed two Air-India planes in 1985.
Homeland terrorists such as the Tamil Tigers remain a security problem for Canada, but they are no longer the country's only major threat. Of equal concern to counterterrorism investigators is homegrown terrorism.
"We have a bifurcated threat at this point," Mr. Hooper testified. "The threat that comes to Canada from the outside as well as a homegrown threat, and the homegrown variants look to Canada to execute their targeting.
"We must be vigilant on two fronts," he added, "that which is coming to us from the outside environment and, increasingly, that which is growing up in our communities."
In Europe, the United States and Australia, intelligence agencies have been reporting the same trend: loose homegrown youth networks (some of them virtual networks that exist only in cyberspace) inspired by al-Qaeda but that operate locally and autonomously.
The suicide bombings in London last July 7 that killed 52, for example, were the work of three British-born Muslims and a Jamaican-born immigrant who had converted to Islam. "The attacks showed very clearly that terrorism is a 'homegrown' problem," said a British parliamentary committee's report on the
Neer mind foreign terrorist, why is Canada growing it's own (http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/story.html?id=8ef8514e-3fa2-44e2-83ee-6073a8e6ea19)
I hope that by posting this I'm not making anyone in Canada live in fear
-
There is no terror threat in Toronto fellas....its just the new conservative canadian government loading up on fear mongering. Easier to retain power when your populace is afraid of terrorists. No doubt those poor bastards in custody are innocent. Scapegoats on a one way trip to Gitmo.

I wish we had the death penalty here.
Hopefully, someone behind bars will take care of these mf's
-
Curval and His "Scooter" werent involved according to news sources.
I'm glad they caught them befor meaningless deaths acurred

I wonder how Nash is going to spin this as being Bush's fault?

Is tapping domestic calls on suspicious activities any different than monitoring ones internet traffic? I would say no, its no different.
As I said before, any Government agency may monitor my phone calls or internet traffic if they suspect me of terrorism.

So the ultra liberal Canadians have made the biggest terrorist bust in years...
hows that for spin?

Didn't they just elect a CONSERVATIVE govt?

Well if we don't hear from Nash we'll all know what happened..
:D

This is bigger than we originally thought. These a-holes that were arrested here were known to have meetings with at least 2 US mooselimbs now in jail in Atlanta and furthermore, have been watched communicating with others in the US, Britain, the Balkans and Scandanavia.
We are gonna see alot of beat up muslims here in TO...4 so far...police took 15 minutes to show up after the 911 call! :lol

9/11
About 15 minutes after the 1st tower falls arabs burn the American flag about 2 miles from my house and celebrate.
Local kids find out about it and in about 5 minutes......
Arabs get pummeled into the ground and hospitalized. No arrests were made.
:aok

DANG! It looks like they had 3 tons (http://inbrief.threatswatch.org/2006/06/canada-raid-breaks-cell-3-tons/) of amonium nitrate. Of course the muslim community up there are allready planning Lawsuits (http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1149329598732&call_pageid=968332188492&col=968793972154)

Items are shown on display during a press conference in Toronto, Saturday, June 3, 2006. The bag of fertilizer, right, was not seized during the raid and was there for display purposes only
I still have to say WTFG Canada for breaking this one.

WTG CANADA!:aok

But Islam is peace..........
I wondered how long it would be before another attack was made on this side of the atlantic. Fortunately most of the ones willing to do something like that are still focused on Iraq. Better to fight them there than here IMO.

Probably not in the way you think. Canada has four major parties. The Conservatives made up the largest minority. Most voters voted for one of the other three parties.

You're right, it doesn't. I would be surprised if federal politics had anything to do with it.
Shame, MT. :o
-
Yet, when I say I vote for Conservatives up here (like in the last election), folks down there always say "Yeah but your conservatives are like our liberals."
Ya can't win. :)
(I think that was what MT was gettin' at when answering how I might spin this.)
But, I also think it's worth noting. We got 'em.
... and I'd bet ya a good chunk of change that our government and law enforcement officials didn't break any laws to get it done.
That's my spin. :)

It all depends on what "law" means.
