Police rounded up 18 men in June 2006 in what they called Canada's largest anti-terrorism operation since 9-11.
The men arrested were alleged to be planning an attack on a number of Canadian targets, including downtown Toronto, Parliament Hill and specifically, an alleged plot to behead Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
