Police in Toronto have arrested 12 adults and five teenagers, in possession of three tons of fertilizer intended to be used in an Islamic terror attack: Major terror bust in Toronto. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)
And they were training at jihad camps in Ontario.
“The RCMP, CSIS and the Integrated National Security Enforcement Team arrested individuals throughout the GTA today in relation to terrorist-related offences,” confirmed RCMP spokesman Corp. Michele Paradis.
As of about 9 p.m. last night, Paradis also added “there are ongoing arrests.”
Though unconfirmed, sources have told the Sun police arrested a possible home-grown al-Qaeda terrorist cell operating in Toronto that had planned to bomb the subway as early as Monday.
Just three days ago, Sun columnist Joe Warmington wrote about two men spotted filming the subway system on May 23 at Keele station, which raised alarm bells with Toronto Police and CSIS.
But sources also tell the Sun that the RCMP “planted” that story with the media, though reasons remain unclear.
Police had been watching several alleged terrorist camps since 2004 — one of which is reported to be in the Muskokas near Bracebridge and another near Thunder Bay, a police source told Warmington late last night.
“Recently some officers followed two men who left the camp near Thunder Bay and headed to Toronto,” said the source.
Another Sun source said there was a similar “terrorist” camp near Barry’s Bay — within an hour’s drive of several Ontario nuclear operations.
Other source also tell the Sun the arrested individuals were amassing weapons.
“This is huge, this is massive.”
