Canadian authorities thwart pressure-cooker bomb plot

..SURREY, British Columbia — A Boston Marathon-style attack on Canada Day festivities Monday was disrupted when the Mounties nabbed an al-Qaeda-inspired couple and seized pressure cooker bombs, police said.

John Stewart Nuttall and Amanda Marie Korody were inspired by al-Qaeda ideology but were self-radicalized, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Assistant Commissioner James Malizia said yesterday. He called it a domestic threat without international connections.

Malizia said there was no evidence to suggest a link to the deadly Boston Marathon bombings in April. But the plot outlined by the RCMP appears to parallel the case in Boston, where federal prosecutors say the Tsarnaev brothers learned how to make pressure cooker bombs from an online al-Qaeda magazine, and downloaded Islamic extremist texts meant to inspire lone wolves who operate on their own initiative.

.Nuttall and Korody were arrested on Monday, the same day that thousands attended the Canada Day celebrations at the provincial legislature in Victoria. Police said the bombs were found outside the legislature before the crowds gathered.

“This self-radicalized behavior was intended to create maximum impact and harm to Canadian citizens at the B.C. legislature on a national holiday,” RCMP Superintendent Wayne Rideout said. “They took steps to educate themselves and produce explosive devices designed to cause injury and death.”

Police said a tip from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service led to a five-month investigation. Rideout said the pair discussed a wide variety of targets and techniques.

Oh BC, you so crazy.

I thought this was going to be another Rise Of The Machines news story.

Nicely played Mounties. Well done.

I read that as RHCP. I thought the Chilli Peppers were going into crime fighting for a sec there.

**Shadowbrand**

Good.

Fething crazy bastages.

Nice to hear about CSIS getting a win for a change. Their headlines usually aren't so positive, unfortunately.

**KalashnikovMarine**

So, because the RCMP nabbed'em, they'll be executed by being trampled to death or other such classic frontier justice right?

"...the man just recently converted to Islam."

Another case of self-radicalized Mennonites. Or was that self-radicalized Messianic Jews? Perhaps recently converted Zoroastrians?

As a side note, there is a Zoroastrian temple not too far from me. I did not think those still existed.

Yup, it's nice to know they still have the time to pursue actual threats, between all that harassing of muslims...

Besides harassing these two young muslims right? That's cool.

Ahhh. Darn I miss a good old fashioned drag at a gallop. Sure it's a hell of a mess and kinda spooks the horse, but it's effective!

The CSIS and the RCMP have a history of interpreting display of religiosity as probable cause...

Still doing better then the NSA and FBI which have the same issue if you have what's clinically known as "a pulse"

**Tazz Azrael**

Heard about this on the radio already as its so damn close to home........ I say deport the mother fethers to make an example of them for trying an act of terrorism....... or have them publicly shot

The irony being that we would thus stoop to the Taliban's level...?

**Jihadin**

Long Jail Term....granted you have no "GITMO" card to play. Wonder how well they do in general population of prison up there. The ones we have in our federal prison system.....I hear are being kept separate from general pop...can't prosecute the suspect when he/she is dead

Hey now, the FBI still has a 100% track record of preventing all terrorist attacks that they initiated and supplied materials for.

**Jihadin**

So do we let them go for entrapment?

I'm confused.

Where's the entrapment, exactly?

No, that would be if we held a public beheading and then displayed the body on the nearest bridge.

Death is a civilized method of punishment, if it is done in the proper way. We should always have a way of removing those whose continued existence is a danger and a burden to society.

This guy is known to friends of mine. He was active in the Victoria music community in the 90's. It's such a mindfeth to most of them. He was always a little strange, but to plan something like this.

Here is an interview with John Nuttall's mom.

This is interesting in that it might show that he was provided material help by an unknown source.

The denial, less so.

In Canada it's considered impolite to send people to prison so they'll probably only get 3 weeks in jail to be served on weekends.
