I am sure it's just some misunderstood Muslims setup by the evil Western governments.

The Canadian media says the suspects allegedly had links to al-Qaeda.



Canadian police and intelligence services arrested two suspects in Toronto on Monday and thwarted a "major terrorist attack" in Canada, media reported.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police scheduled a 3:30 p.m. ET news conference to provide details, the National Post reported.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corp., citing unidentified ":highly place" sources, said the operation was coordinated with the U.S. department of Homeland security and the FBI.
A background briefing, attended by several prominent Muslim community leaders was being held beforehand, the Post reported.
CTV reported that the arrests were part of an investigation by the RCMP and Canadian Security Intelligence Service that had been going on for "a considerable amount of time."
CTV reported that the two suspects were allegedly linked to al-Qaeda.

I wonder how Tom Brokaw will spin this one? Yesterday on MTP he blamed Boston on drones. Is Canada dropping drones on people?

Looks like US intelligence (FBI / DHS) played a big role in resolving this.

Well that can't be true. According to Tom Brokaw it's our fault for the Boston bombings. This is obviously Canada's fault. They must have put out some youtube's we haven't seen yet. Or AQ hates syrup. Maybe folks eat pancakes and sausage a lot up there and pork is bad.
