Wires Ignoring Canadian Terror Arrests?
The only article about the Canadian terror arrests that currently shows up in Yahoo’s “Top Stories” RSS news feed: Toronto mosque vandalized after terrorism arrests.
TORONTO (Reuters) - Vandals smashed 30 windows of a Toronto mosque and damaged nearby cars after the arrest of 17 suspected al Qaeda sympathizers accused of planning bomb attacks. Canadian Muslims expressed fear on Sunday that a backlash had begun.
The vandals struck overnight at the west-end mosque, a police official said on Sunday. A second official said he had no information on any link between the incident and the arrests, which began late Friday.
“The actual weapon that was used to break (the windows) is unknown,” said secretary Ameer Ali of the International Muslims Organization of Toronto, which houses the mosque. “We believe it has to be a heavy instrument, possibly a sledgehammer or a pick ax, or it could even be a crowbar.”
