Canada Foils 'major Terrorist Attack' by TechyGuy: 8:58pm On Apr 22, 2013
Canadian authorities have foiled "a major terrorist attack" in the country’s capital, Toronto.

Canadian police and intelligence agencies said the operation was conducted in co-ordination with the US Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

Al Jazeera's Daniel Lak, reporting from Toronto's Pearson Airport, said that arrests have been made.

"They have been watching suspects for a year," Lak said.

In 2006, Canadian authorities also arrested at least 18 suspects reportedly linked to a terror plot, involving attacks on the parliament and a major broadcast company.

Following the news and like that of Boston, the people once again collaborated with security operatives to thwart the plot. If only our security operatives get the kind of support from the communities where terrorists have thrived in Nigeria, the security challenges would have been subdued.

This is quite surprising considering that Canada is usually peaceful.

That is what they probably wanted to take advantage of.

But I'm more interested in the fact that they(security) get tip-off's from locals. I do not intend to exonerate our FG but I do not think any government including that of advanced countries like US and Canada can do anything without the cooperation of those in the community.

You don't get that kind of support from the community when you traumatise them even more than BH.

Any country where you have muslims' expect terrorist attacks. For prophet Mohammed has promised them 72 virgins to Bleep in paradise. So anywhere you have Muslims beware.

Ideally, I agree that the police needs support from locals to get their job done but sadly in Nigeria, from personal experience, you should tip off Nigerian Police at your own peril.
I definitely won't allow my close friends or family to give them a tip off or have anything to do with Police.

What are you saying? I lived in the North, a BH state, I know what I'm talking about. The core northerner will "hardly" collaborate with security agencies (seen as enemies) to fight against BH terrorists (seen as brothers).

I see that the people who blow themselves up in d name of the "fairy godmother" [/s]allah/mohammed [s][s][/s] are at it again. Soon we will have the supporters and sympathisers of d Motherless babies children charity (aka boko haram - remember we were told last wk dt BH isnt a terrorist organisation) come online raging and ranting like rabid infested dogs and justifying the actions of dis troublesome religion dt is known everywhere for violence. Instead of the muslim leaders to come out and denounce violence and killings they will be ranting abt acts of violence committed by other religions against theirs in 150BC forgetting that there were no religions just tribes n ethnicities in that era

I have done so. There are several ways you can do so and hide your identity if you are afraid.
More so, I'm not talking about individuals alone. I am talking about collective efforts by residents, religious and traditional leaders, teachers, landlords and all.

It worked in Lagos, it has worked in Kano, it can work in Borno and Yobe!

Sure thing! Information from locals are very vital for anti-terrorism but there are also some other pointers as well, like travel history, credit card records, browsing history, phone record etc the moment you begin to engage in shady practices, the system flags you up!

Good job by the Canadian and American law enforcement agents. It was crucial that they nipped the terrorist plans in the bud.
