Sneer quotes in the original. |
Canada's spy agency has revealed that it has dismantled a suspected terrorist cell last year in Toronto that included an al-Qaeda-trained explosives expert, The National Post has reported. The cell consisted of four Algerian refugee claimants alleged to be members of the Salafist Group for Call and Combat, a radical Islamic group, Larry Brooks, Canadian Security Intelligence Service chief of counterterrorism for the Toronto region, told delegates at a closed-door security meeting this week.A closed-door super-secret security meeting, you say? Then why are we hearing anything about it? | Among them was a former al-Qaeda training camp instructor who had studied bomb-making at Osama bin Laden's Al Farooq and Khaldun training camps in eastern Afghanistan, Brooks said, according to the report. Three of the men, who had entered Canada from the United States, were arrested and deported back to the United States in recent months. The alleged bomb-maker left voluntarily in March, 2004, after investigators confronted him. He had entered Canada in 1998 using a forged Saudi passport, the report said. Where did he go when he left Canada? |
