I think that after the Boston bombings and the pursuit of the terrorists in the city and surrounding areas that we are going to see more of these types of reports in the near future.

 

I do wonder if the actual frequency of these events will increase, or just the reporting of them in an effort to make the general public feel as if our security measures are effective and to make them feel safer today and they felt yesterday.

Canadian authorities have broken up what is being described as a "major terrorist attack" that may have included targets there and in New York, Fox News has confirmed.

 

Arrests could be announced as early as Monday afternoon, and sources said charging documents could be filed in federal court in New York. The plot is unrelated to the Boston Marathon attack, sources said. An official says there is no current credible threat to New York City.

 

Earlier, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation said Canadian police and intelligence agencies were to announce multiple arrests after an operation to thwart the attack. The operation was coordinated with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the FBI, CBC said. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said in a statement the investigation was coordinated by a multi-agency team comprised of the RCMP, Canadian Security Intelligence Services, the Canada Border Service Agency and other law enforcement and national security partners.

 

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reported earlier that police and intelligence agencies had made multiple arrests in connection with the alleged plot.

 

We all need to be like a midget at a urinal - on our toes.

Always am

I heard something about an Amtrak train between Montreal and NYC.....

As is the case Fox is rather stretching the facts to fit the story.

The plot was foiled with the help of the FBI but apparently only included a plan to bomb a Canadian Rail train in Canada by 2 residents with ties to Al Queda.There was no viable threat to America or Americans and had no connection to the Boston Attacks.

It was a VIA Canada train which has inland routes and does not cross into the US.

TORONTO - Police in Canada say two men have been arrested and charged with plotting a terrorist attack against a Canadian passenger train.

 

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said Monday that Chiheb Esseghaier and Raed Jaser were conspiring to carry out an al-Qaida supported attack against Via Rail, but posed no imminent threat.

 

The investigation was part of a cross-border operation involving Canadian law enforcement agencies, the FBI and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

They were probably going to push a moose over the tracks. A red flag went up when they were buying 4 kegs of beer and two bags of moose feed.
