Johnny Utah Posted June 6, 2006 Report Posted June 6, 2006 Canadian Terror Probe Expands to 7 NationsAPNEWS/MYWAY.com Jun 5, 6:31 Excerpt: TORONTO (AP) - Police said Monday more arrests are likely in an alleged plot to bomb buildings in Canada, while intelligence officers sought ties between the 17 suspects and Islamic terror cells in the United States and five other nations. A court said authorities had charged all 12 adults arrested over the weekend with participating in a terrorist group. Other charges included importing weapons and planning a bombing. The charges against five minors were not made public. The Parliament of Canada, in Ottawa, is believed to be among targets the group discussed. Toronto Mayor David Miller said CN Tower, a downtown landmark, and the city's subway were not targets as had been the speculated in local media, but declined to identify sites that were. A Muslim prayer leader who knew the oldest suspect, 43-year-old Qayyum Abdul Jamal, told The Associated Press on Monday that Jamal's sermons at a storefront mosque were "filled with hate" against Canada. Link The fact Jamal's sermons at a storefront mosque "filled with hate" against Canada was allowed is not shocking as Extremist Islamic leaders in the UK and United States were allowed to do the same thing before 9/11. Though didn't Britain make that illegal recently? Quote
newbie Posted June 6, 2006 Report Posted June 6, 2006 "Imam Qamrul Khanson told the Associated Press the language of Jamal's Friday night prayers had a more strident tone than other prayer leaders', but there was never any talk of terrorism or violence." http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/20...t-suspects.html I guess it depends on which news source you trust. At least CBC named the source. Quote
