Canada - Al Qaeda Terror Cell Busted

Here's why we have to always keep our guard up.

TORONTO - Canadian counter- terrorism investigators have dismantled a suspected terrorist cell in Toronto whose members included an al-Qaeda-trained explosives expert, the National Post has learned.

The cell consisted of four Algerian refugee claimants who had lived in Canada for as long as six years and were alleged members of a radical Islamic terror faction called the Salafist Group for Call and Combat.

The central figure of the Toronto-area cell was a former al-Qaeda training camp instructor who studied bomb-making at Osama bin Laden's Al Farooq and Khaldun training camps in eastern Afghanistan.

And from down under...

Prime Minister John Howard says the Federal Government has received specific intelligence about a potential terrorist threat in Australia.

It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.
