Talk on the news right now is that the Canadians & FBI arrested some people in Toronto or Southern Ontario who intended to blow up a bridge or something alone those lines. “Cause an economic impact” is what I heard.
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadian police will hold a news conference at 3:30 p.m. (1930 GMT) Monday to provide details on a “national security criminal investigation”, police said shortly after media reports said they had thwarted a major terrorist attack.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said in a statement the investigation was coordinated by a multi-agency team comprised of the RCMP, Canadian Security Intelligence Services, the Canada Border Service Agency and other law enforcement and national security partners.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reported earlier that police and intelligence agencies had made multiple arrests in connection with the alleged plot.
The two suspects in an alleged terror plot in Canada, Chiheb Esseghaier and Raed Jaser, are accused of conspiring to murder people on a VIA train, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said. The RCMP said that while the suspects had the capacity to carry out an attack, the public was never in imminent danger.
