Just in case you needed more evidence that Canada is involved in the War on Terror, whether we like it our not, this comes out:
U.S. intelligence agencies are investigating a series of thefts of official vehicles and uniforms, including an Air Canada uniform, amid fears al-Qaeda operatives could be acquiring such items for a terrorist attack.
Of further interest (to me anyway) was that I found this story on the National Post online edition, which is subscriber only. I want to provide a link to this story so I went to the Globe and Mail, but there is nothing there on this. So I tried the Toronto Star as well, but no luck. I guess it should not have surprised me.
Update: I should have also mentioned the possible connection between a Montrealer and the crash of American Airlines flight on Nov 12, 2001.
Canadian Security Intelligence Service agents were told during five days of interviews with the source that Abderraouf Jdey, a Canadian citizen also known as Farouk the Tunisian, had downed the plane with explosives on Nov. 12, 2001.
The source claimed Jdey had used his Canadian passport to board Flight 587 and "conducted a suicide mission" with a small bomb similar to the one used by convicted shoe bomber Richard Reid, a "Top Secret" Canadian government report says.
But officials said it was unlikely Jdey was actually involved in the crash, which killed 265 people and is considered accidental. The fact that al-Qaeda attributed the crash to Jdey, however, suggests they were expecting him to attack a plane.
