In the days after the arrest of 17 terrorism suspects and allegations that security services thwarted an attack on Canadian soil, a senior RCMP official told reporters: "We're not done yet."Sources have told the Toronto Star that during the terrorism probe, underway for almost two years, a group much larger than that of the 17 men and youths was being monitored. But defence lawyers have argued that they believe the police net was already cast too wide with the June 2 arrests of five youths and 12 adults, part of what police say is a "home-grown" terrorism cell.
The question remains: Are more arrests connected to this group expected, and do police believe there's a strong likelihood of other alleged terrorist plots? "It's certainly not done," RCMP Assistant Commissioner Mike McDonell said when asked if others will be taken into custody.
