Blogosphere and ‘net have full coverage of the jihadi terror ring busted in Toronto. Get informed:

Pajamas Media rundown.

Jeffery Imm at The Counterterrorism Blog has massive link/analysis. Allah is tracking.

Threats Watch breaks down the details, including this stunner:

3 tons of ammonium nitrate found–three times that used in the 1995 OKC bombing.

John Stephenson notes that Internet monitoring led to the raid. The Star tells how.

Canadian blogger Stephen Taylor has the lowdown on the Muslim “youths” arrested and has must-read ongoing coverage:

In a series of police raids last night, over 400 RCMP officers in joint operation with CSIS, arrested up to 12 suspects across Ontario suspected of plotting a series of terrorist attacks in the province including one in downtown Toronto at an office building near the CN Tower.

RCMP press release:

TORONTO, June 3 /CNW/ - On Friday, June 2, 2006, members of the RoyalCanadian Mounted Police and partners of the Integrated National Security Enforcement Team arrested 12 individuals and charged them under Section 83 of the Criminal Code of Canada.

This group took steps to acquire three tonnes of ammonium nitrate and other components necessary to create explosive devices,” said Assistant Commissioner Mike McDonell. “To put this in context, the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City that killed 168 people took one tonne of ammonium nitrate.”

Arrested and charged with offences under the Criminal Code of Canada are:

1. Fahim Ahmad, 21, of Robinstone Drive, Toronto, Ontario;
2. Zakaria Amara, 20, of Periwinkle Crescent, Mississauga, Ontario;
3. Asad Ansari, 21, of Rosehurst Drive, Mississauga, Ontario;
4. Shareef Abdelhaleen, 30, of Lowville Heights, Mississauga, Ontario;
5. Qayyum Abdul Jamal, 43, of Montevideo Road, Mississauga, Ontario;
6. Mohammed Dirie, 22, Kingston, Ontario;
7. Yasim Abdi Mohamed, 24, Kingston, Ontario;
8. Jahmaal James, 23, of Trudelle Street, Toronto, Ontario;
9. Amin Mohamed Durrani, 19, of Stonehill Court, Toronto, Ontario;
10. Steven Vikash Chand alias Abdul Shakur, 25, of Treverton Drive, Toronto, Ontario;
11. Ahmad Mustafa Ghany, 21, of Robin Drive, Mississauga, Ontario;
12. Saad Khalid, 19, of Eclipse Avenue, Mississauga, Ontario.

“Our investigation and arrests prevented the assembly of explosive devices and attacks being carried out. At all times, the focus of our investigation was the safety and protection of the public,” concluded McDonell.

Stephen also points to a jihadi poem written by someone who shares one of the suspects’ names:

I’ll always be a contender
Yes, I know my bones are very tender
And by Allah you won’t see me surrender
Look at my eyes? You’ll see no butterflies
My home is filled with cries… due to all the lost lives
But I swear by Allah I’ll never compromise
I’ll still throw the stones even with my broken bones
Why can’t I hear from you, don’t you have any phones?
Ya I forgot, your not on the chase, try it out and put your self in my place
Soon I’ll return to my lord , the one that deserves every grace
Oh you don’t have to worry cause of me you’ll find no trace
It really is to late, why did you wait?
You could have sent me at least one dinner plate
I guess it is my fate
And La Ilaha Illa Allah is my mate.

Glenn Reynolds:

It’s interesting that this happened at almost the same time as the major bust in London. So what’s cooking here in the United States?

Darleen Click notes Canada’s Muslim appeasers.

Thomas Galvin: “For all those who are quick to blame the West for the world’s ills, what did Canada do to ‘deserve’ this?”
