'Major terrorist' plot broken up by Canadian and U.S. authorities

The good news is that they stopped them before it happened.
 
I'm glad authorities were able to stop this from happening, good on them!
 
wow that's good to hear, nice to see a positive ending to this one.
 
I just saw this on Nightly News, I am glad nothing happen but it's still very upsetting that another terrorist attack was planned. I know unfortunately there will more attempts .
 
I agreed, this is too vague. I don't think there is enough evidence that they are actually planning on attack. The only evidence they got is considering as "Just talking". Usually the "Just talking" comments don't result actual planned event.

If this is the case, it would be very stupid action of these authorities. Why can't they just wait until hard evidence is clearly visible?

And I don't think DA got winnable case on this one, that would make this situation even worse.

BTW... I have a question, are there chances that government authorities wants to be hero and save us before it happens? Should we fall for it?

WTF? You don't know what Canadian authorities found because they won't tell you. They only will tell the court. Re-read the article!
 
From my link:

Canadian authorities announced Monday they have broken up an Al Qaeda-linked terror plot to attack a passenger train as it crossed over a bridge in the Toronto area.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said Monday that two suspects have been arrested on terrorism charges. Chiheb Esseghaier and Raed Jaser, who live in greater Montreal and Toronto -- were conspiring to carry out an Al Qaeda-supported attack against Via Rail, but posed no immediate threat to the public.

"It was definitely in the planning stage but not imminent," RCMP chief superintendent Jennifer Strachan told reporters at a news conference.

The six-month investigation, called “Project Smooth,” was coordinated with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the FBI, CBC said. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said in a statement the operation was coordinated by a multi-agency team comprised of the national police, Canadian Security Intelligence Services, the Canada Border Service Agency and other law enforcement and national security partners in Montreal and Toronto, Canada's two largest cities.

The plot is unrelated to the Boston Marathon attack, U.S. Justice Department sources said.

Charges against the two men include conspiring to carry out an attack and murder people in association with a terrorist group. Police said the men are not Canadian citizens, but they would not comment on where they are originally from.

Sources tell Fox News that the suspects wanted to have an economic impact and make a big statement.

The suspects are expected in Canadian court for a bail hearing Tuesday.

They said clearly "In Early stage" Does that define as solid evidence? It is like without anything that proves planning attack. No bomb, no equipment, no specific location selected yet, so forth, really nothing just planning. I re-read several times and I realize that there is nothing they got on their hands. Normally when they charge, they have to announce whether they have evidence or not, they actually announce no physical evidence, that is another way to say "Planning stage". It is not required for authorization to announce WHAT was evidence, usually they will announce if they got solid evidence not. This time, there is no solid evidence and that is FLAWED judicial system! The chances are if judge were strictly following by the book WILL declare this case "Without merit" and dismiss the charge. The term "Without merit" usually when the case present with no hard evidence.

A good police work would involve collect evidences, OR wait until their plan start to carry out like buying materials for bomb making, weapons, etc. Most criminals don't buy them and used right away. They buy them ahead of time and requires time to assemble and prepare though physical. This one, none of them is found. WTF? Why trigger alarm too early, what if there is more people involved but they got away because of too few involved got arrested which will definitely alert other people involved (The ones authorities may never know who). STUPIDITY at best.

This is why Tousi and I were confused on this one. Again, its Canadian, meaning their government is socialism, they can decide whatever they want to which is NOT good government.

Its like, Okay I am planning on robbing the bank 5 miles away, and I will commit about 2:30pm later today..... Go ahead call cop tell them my intention to rob the bank today at 2:30 PM... What Bank? Hmmmm let me think... maybe Citizen National bank in middle of somewhere in Montana, how about that? Go call! Cause I am planning to.....

My comment, meaning will I seriously go ahead rob the bank will result charge in bank robbery in the court and will I find guilty of robbing the bank before I actually rob them? Only :crazy: would think this way.

With what? Is there physical any evidence found that are planning to use to derail the train? I don't care what evidence it was but is there evidence, answer in Y or N is sufficient. But so far the answer seems to be pointing at N.

Derail the train requires some kind of equipment to make it happen, of no equipment then it is all talk and the talk is CHEAP as ass.

So you think they arrested the guys without evidences that prove they were planning to attack? You are :crazy:! What's more, the authorities there are not required to provide info to the public except a court. The second article mentioned that they are tight-lipped. I support that because we are not courts.
 
It is not what I think, it is HOW it was said in news. Too vague! Sometimes cops wants to acts like hero and I don't believe these cops claims.
