Canada Terror Bust: Three tons ammonium nitrate

UPDATED: Massive terror attacks, globally:

Police also said they seized about three tonnes of the commonly used fertilizer ammonium nitrate. Just one-third of that material was used in the bombing of a U.S. federal building in Oklahoma City that killed 168 people in 1995. More here hat tip Norman

"This group holds a real and serious intent," RCMP Assistant Commissioner Mike McDonell told reporters.  Three tons of ammonium nitrate and still the leftards are in denial. Norman writes;

I think you might find the audio of the police news conference here as well. Of course they went out of their way to explain that these people were advocates of an "ideology" and were not members of any particular ethnic group, of course we will never be told they are Muslims. These guys have set up terrorist training bases up here, they purchased 3 tons of ammonium nitrate, (one ton was used in the Oklahoma bombing) and they were apparently going to attack on Monday.

More details coming in; "Did the US tell Canada to do this, or are they just rounding them up to send them south?" hat tip Drov

A group of [Muslims - the word the media dares not speak - Atlas]  Canadian residents inspired by al Qaeda and arrested for "terrorism related offenses" had amassed enough explosives to build huge bombs and were planning to blow up targets in Ontario, Canada's political and economic power center, police said on Saturday.

UPDATE: StoptheACLU reports that these arrests were the result of internet monitoring.  The FBI are looking into ties between these terror suspects and some in the U.S. Go here now.   This goes to show just how effective programs like the NSA are. Hey Russ FoolFeingold & co., are you listening? Impeach Bush, my ass.

UPDATE: Have you guys been reading CUANAS this past week. Pastorius nailed it, connected the proverbial dots, as it were..Here's the gist of it, he writes me;

A week back the FBI and the Justice Dept announced that they were conducting "urgent" investigations into terror cells across the US, and in particular in NYC.

 

The next day, British intelligence made a similar announcement.

 

Then, we had the London raid and the toronto raid.

 

Clearly, something massive is in the works, spanning at least three major Western countries.

 

But, if canada is a target, why not france, holland, denmark, sweden, norway, and germany?

 

My guess is they are also targets.

 

An early report out of London also said that police had ordered a five mile no fly zone around the site of the bust. This might also indicate they suspect rocket launchers.

 

By the way, why did US and UK intelligence make announcement about ongoing "urgent" investigations.

 

The answer would be they feel they have lost control, so they are trying to intimidate terror cells into thinking they are all being watched.

 

Considering all major terrorist attacks since 9/11 have been on key dates, 3/11, 7/7, 7/21, I think we should look at what date is coming up

 

6/6/06

 

Do you think they might try to do something like this to spook us infidels?

Certainly. Also noteworthy,

Five of the seventeen suspects aarrested in the latest terror bust in Canada were under the age of seventeen. The suspects were all homegrown. They had never been to the Middle East, and had contact with recently arrested Muslims in Georgia (USA).

Two men charged last week in a terrorism case traveled to Washington D.C. to shoot "casing videos" of the Capitol building and other potential targets, a prosecutor alleged during a bail hearing.A 21-year-old Georgia Tech student and another man traveled to Canada to meet with Islamic extremists to discuss "strategic locations in the United States suitable for a terrorist strike," according to an affidavit made public Friday.

An FBI agent's affidavit accused Sadequee and Ahmed, a 21-year-old Georgia Tech student, of meeting with at least three other targets of the FBI probe during a trip to Canada in March 2005. The men allegedly discussed attacks against oil refineries and military bases and planned to travel to Pakistan to get military training at a terrorist camp. More here

You remember Sadaquee..............I wrote of him him here back in April;

FROM ATLAS POST ,APRIL 22:
SADAQUEE IS BEING ARRAIGNED IN NY COURT RIGHT NOW [he came from Canada - do you remember now? - Atlas]

This morning, Sadequee arrived in Anchorage, Alaska, where he was brought before a United States Magistrate Judge and ordered removed to the Eastern District of New York.

The charge against Sadequee is serious - the lies he told impact issues of national security and were material to an ongoing terrorism investigation," said United States Attorney Mauskopf, here

19 year old Ehsanul Sadequeee and 21-year-old Georgia Tech student Syed Ahmed met with Islamic extremists to discuss "strategic locations in the United States suitable for a terrorist strike," according to an affidavit made public Friday.

Syed Haris Ahmed and Ehsanul Islam Sadequee, both U.S. citizens who grew up in the Atlanta area, met with at least three other targets of ongoing FBI terrorism investigations during a trip to Canada in March 2005, the FBI agent's affidavit said.

The affidavit said the men discussed attacks against oil refineries and military bases and planned to travel to Pakistan to get military training at a terrorist camp, which authorities said Ahmed then tried to do.

Ahmed told agents they had met with extremists and plotted how to disrupt military and commercial communications and traffic by disabling the Global Positioning System.

These are very young people. 21 year old from Georgia, five  suspects under the age 17 in Canada. This just in from France;

Islamic extremists in France are speeding up recruitment and reaching people younger and younger, according to a new intelligence report cited by a French newspaper Saturday.

The document said women are playing an increasing role in radicalizing fellow Muslims, but noted that extremists remain a very small minority, about 5,000 of the nation's 5 million Muslims, Le Figaro newspaper reported.

Radicalization is happening "faster and faster and younger and younger," said the document from the Renseignements Generaux, France's chief intelligence agency, according to Figaro. More here

More terror right now in London: POLICE HUNTING CHEMICAL "DIRTY" BOMB

British anti-terrorist police are hunting for a "dirty" chemical bomb that could be used in an attack in Britain after a major raid failed to uncover a device they believe exists, newspapers reported on Saturday.

More than 250 officers, some wearing chemical, biological and radiological protection suits, shot one man and arrested another during a dawn raid on an east London house on Friday.

The operation, one of the biggest since last July's suicide bombings in the capital, was prompted by suspicions that the house could have been used for making bombs or chemical weapons.

Some newspapers, citing unnamed security sources, said police believed suspected militants had made a "dirty" chemical device -- a conventional bomb surrounded by toxic material that could be set off by a bomber wearing a suicide jacket.

"We are absolutely certain this device exists and could be used either by a suicide bomber or in a remote-controlled explosion," one source told the Sun newspaper. More here

UPDATE: Boycotting Israel won't save Canada from the violent Islamists.

  Israel's ambassador to Canada on Friday joined national Jewish groups and politicians in condemning a decision by a branch of the country's largest public employees' union to support boycotting Israel over its treatment of the Palestinians

Pastorius asks me;

A commenter at IBA just pointed out that the date of Mohammed's death is 6-8. Could that be the date they are pushing for? It seems something is imminent.

Readers, help me out here. They had different calenders in the days of Mohammad. The Gregorian calender had not be invented, the Julian calender. Moderate Muslim readers (do I have any?), is June 8th the universally held date for Mohammed's death?

UPDATE: POLICE IN LONDON HUNTING CHEMICAL SUICIDE VEST:(hat tip Turn)

Man shot in dawn raid on suspected weapons factory Officers believe World Cup fans could be target of attack  

  A DESPERATE search is under way for a “chemical vest” that a British suicide bomber was ready to deploy in a terror attack on London. Police fear that the strike, using a home-made chemical device, was imminent after an informant told MI5 that he had seen the lethal garment at the home of two young men.

Last night detectives were at the hospital bedside of a 23-year-old postal worker shot during a pre-dawn raid on his parents’ home, while his younger brother, aged 20, was being questioned at Paddington Green high security police station.

UPDATE: A reader weighs in on the Mohammad date of death

There is absolutely no tradition of recording the prophet's date of birth or death in the Julian or Gregorian calendar. So June 8th has no significance at all.

The date in the islamic calendar is also disputed, but the most commonly given is 12 rabi-ul-awal, which has already passed this year.

6-6-6 should have no islamic significance at all, but jihadis watch horror movies too, so who knows...

Fuel Oil (diesel) is the FO in AMFO. A significant quantity is needed to mix w 3 tonnes. (1 tonne metric=2200 lbs).

U.K. and continental Europe, Canada and maybe here--it's the start of a long summmer.

'Slammis sure do love their simulblasts(goes way before African embassies to Euro airport attacks in 1985--Abu Nidal? Roma & Vienne if memory serves). Maybe a new dimension here with simultaneous attacks using different kinds of WMD.

No, I believe just the opposite. They want to monitor changes in communication patterns.

June 8 is given as the date of Mohhamed's death. BUT Islam uses a lunar calendar so I suspect in the observant the date changes year to year.

Michelle Malkin has names of all 18. They are ALL Muslim. Surprise. Who'd a thought?
