terrorists in Canada

Canadian television has reported that a group of men enrolled in a flight training program, but did so as part of a plan to use aircraft in an attack on Canadian targets. The men are now in custody on terror-related charges.
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, which cited allegations contained in court documents, said Wednesday Amin Mohamed Durrani, 19, had enrolled in a training program at a Toronto-area college but then withdrew out of fear his activities would draw the attention of authorities. Durrani is one of 12 men and five youths being held after a weekend raid in and around Toronto.
Several are facing charges of participating in a terrorist group, while six are charged with planning an explosion that could cause death or serious injury.
The documents repeated allegations revealed by a lawyer at a court appearance Tuesday, that some in the group had planned to storm Parliament and take politicians hostage to force Canada to remove its troops from Afghanistan.
One of the terrorists was a former reservist who received weapons training. He plotted to storm Canada’s Parliament and behead the prime minister..
The arrests shocked Canadians not used to worrying about attacks on home soil.
This situation relates back to 9/11. Americans were not expecting such a tragic terrorist attack. Terrorists boarded flights leaving from Boston and were able to hijack the planes, crashing two into the twin towers in New York and another into the Pentagon. A fourth plane was hijacked and believed to be heading toward the White Houses. Passengers were able to take control and bring the plane down into a field in Pennsylvania.
