Arrests made in Ontario, Quebec in alleged terror plot: CBC News
TORONTO, Cananda – CBC News is reporting that Canadian police and intelligence agencies have thwarted a plot to carry out a major terrorist attack.
Sources tell the network that a number of suspects were arrested this morning in Ontario and Quebec.
The report says the alleged plotters have been under surveillance for more than a year.
