Seventeen people have been arrested by Canadian police in Toronto for terrorism-related offences and could face charges of plotting al-Qaeda-inspired attacks.
The group is alleged to have acquired three tonnes of ammonium nitrate, commonly found in fertiliser, and "components necessary to create explosive devices."
Police said the individuals were arrested in co-ordinated raids throughout the wider Toronto area.
"This group posed a real and serious threat," McDonnell said.
"It had the capacity and intent to carry out attacks. Our investigation and arrests prevented the assembly of any bombs and the attacks being carried out."Glad they didn't get far enough to hurt any forum members. :thumb
