It appears that there is a global web of terror tied to this most recent bust of 17 Canadian Muslims and the "dirty bomb" bust in London. The weaponry found in these raids are WMD, weapons of mass destruction. Big time. Before these recent raids,there were at least 18 related arrests already taken place in Canada, the United States, Britain, Bosnia, Denmark, Sweden, and Bangladesh. Hat tip Pastorius and LGF;
Canadian National Post: A Canadian counter-terrorism investigation that led to the arrests of 17 people accused of plotting bombings in Ontario is linked to probes in a half-dozen countries, the National Post has learned.
Well before police tactical teams began their sweeps around Toronto on Friday, at least 18 related arrests had already taken place in Canada, the United States, Britain, Bosnia, Denmark, Sweden, and Bangladesh.
The six-month RCMP investigation, called Project OSage, is one of several overlapping probes that include an FBI case called Operation Northern Exposure and a British probe known as Operation Mazhar.
“It was their intent to use it for a terrorist attack,” RCMP assistant commissioner Mike McDonell said.
“This group posed a real threat. It had the capacity and intent to carry out these attacks.”
It's easy to be global when the internet is Jihadi TerrorUniversity;
The Internet has emerged as "the virtual university of terrorism," the Simon Wiesenthal Center's Rabbi Abraham Cooper told a high-level international conference in Brussels last week.
Cooper, the associate dean of the Los Angeles-based center, said there were up to 600 "problematic sites," some of which carried anti-Semitic and racist messages while others even served as instruction manuals on how to make bombs and carry out terrorist attacks.
"Without any doubt, the Internet today has been co-opted by terrorist groups who present to all of us existential threats," he said, "and I believe we are only at the very beginning in civil society of grasping the enormity of that challenge."









For a change, we're looking at a real, if as yet unactualized, threat to freedom.
Yes, the Internet allows villains to communicate freely, fluidly, and somewhat privately. But the same could once have been said about telephones, or the U. S. Mail. I profoundly hope that we won't be hearing any arguments to the effect that "therefore, governments must take control of the Internet, to censor and monitor it in the name of public safety."
Of course, the source from which such suggestions are most likely to come is the United Nations, but we must be vigilant over the schemes of our own public parasites as well.

Hey, nothing a bit of inter-faith dialogue wouldn't fix.

Let's see if the ever-present 'terror-watch color code' goes up this week. I suspect not.
Let's also see if police and EMS mandatory overtime is called for--I suspect it will.
We've caught some portion of what's planned--but not all. Have your water and canned goods stored by tonight; it can't hurt and it may save.
"We have to be successful 100% of the time and the terrorists only have to succeed once".
Odds are against us. And until we truly take the battle to them, not just in Iraq but everywhere, this will remain the case.

Canada is pretty hostile to the "zionist entity." They even went so far as to seize the Ayn Rand Institute's pamphlet's "In Moral Defense of Israel" as hate speech (they later returned them). However, Canada's appeasement has not immunized them from terrorist action by the "religion of peace." Any appeasement the U.S. does for them won't help us either.

---> "The RCMP has released the names of the 12 adults ... Jahmaal James, 23, of Trudelle Street, Toronto, Ontario".
