Several arrests have apparently been made following an RCMP counter-terrorism investigation in Ontario. No details have yet been released, but Toronto community leaders have been invited to a briefing. The arrests relate to a terror plot in Canada.
The 2:30 p.m. background briefing was to be followed by a news conference near Toronto's Pearson airport. In recent years, police have made a point of briefing community leaders before announcing terror arrests.
The arrests come at a time of heightened public concern over terrorism following the bombings in Boston as well as recent revelations over the involvement of radicalized Canadian youths in overseas terrorist groups. |
