www.ottawasun.com/2013/04/22/feds-thwarted-major-terrorist-attack-reportRCMP thwart 'major terrorist attack' in Canada TORONTO - A potential bomb plot on a passenger train over the Niagara River has been averted, a police source says. While officials have not confirmed the train bombing plan, the RCMP are holding a news conference at 3:30 p.m. Monday to outline details of the arrest of what they say was a planned terror plot. One police source said there were several scenarios being looked at during the year the suspects were tracked, including the train plot. One of the plots uncovered by the RCMP and other agencies was a planned bombing of a passenger train on the bridge that connects Canada and the United States at Niagara Falls, a police source says. “The plan was to take out a train with passengers on board and the crossing trestle,” said a source. “It was meant to be spectacular and there would have been a lot of carnage.” Click link for rest of article

... the suspects were tracked, including the train plot. ... Wonder if someone blew the whistle on them?

Thanks, SF. I guess NFPD wasn't overdoing it when they pulled out the bomb robots last week to remove backpacks from the car (w/ MA plates) of a couple of college students.

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

That is plain rude.
EDIT: Sorry I didn't know you were joking.

Canada is our neighbor, our ally, and our friend. We're more alike than we differ. Anytime I've been in Canada, I've always felt at home. It's a bit cold for these southern tootsies, but I love it all the same. Canada is family.

I noticed that the plot was thwarted with critical help from the Muslim community in Toronto.
Yes, I just saw a link on Facebook to an article saying this...

jiihad means "struggle". it doesn't necessarily refer to anything military. it can just as easily be a term applied to overcoming prejudice.

This is our F'n City. Nobody will dictate our freedom. Stay Strong! Big Papi I noticed that the plot was thwarted with critical help from the Muslim community in Toronto. I have no doubt that nobody will dictate our freedom long term, aside from the ONE thing that has been dictating it for thousands of years. I have no doubt that Muslims come here fleeing persecution in their own countries. I have no doubt that Muslims in our own communities are our best asset against Radical Islam. However, I have no doubt that almost all Muslims know that Radical Islam is all through their mosques, that is why they are able to help us thwart these attacks. How it all plays out from here is anyone guess, anyone's guess that is except for whatever it is that causes things to happen that are out of our control. -2PAC
