Allegations
The group was allegedly preparing for a large-scale terrorist attack in southern Ontario, which included detonating truck bombs at at least two locations in Southern Ontario and opening fire in a crowded area. Police alleged they also made plans to storm various buildings such as the CBC broadcast building and the Canadian Parliament building, and take hostages. According to one of the suspect's lawyers, they have been accused of planning to "behead the Prime Minister", Stephen Harper, and other leaders.[1],[2],[3] However, Harper appeared not take the threat to himself seriously, joking that he was unconcerned unless such threats came from his own caucus.

The arrests The raids were carried out by an inter-agency task force, the Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (INSET), which coordinated the activities of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), and other police forces, as the operation was spread across several different jurisdictions in southern Ontario, in the area north of Toronto. Each of the 400 police involved in the arrests was required to sign a confidentiality pledge under Canada's Official Secrets Act but the fact of the arrests was leaked to the Toronto Star.

The police state that one of the arrested men, 20-year-old Zakaria Amara, ordered three metric tonnes (6600 pounds) of ammonium nitrate fertilizer, a potentially powerful ingredient often used in quarry and mining explosives. This weight has widely been compared to the amount of ammonium nitrate used in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing in the United States. The official account estimates the ammonium nitrate in the Oklahoma City bomb at 2000 pounds, or about 0.9 metric tons. However, independent analysts have estimated that the Oklahoma City bomb contained 4000 to 4800 pounds of the explosive.[citation needed] Therefore, this scale comparison should be interpreted cautiously, as the true amount seized in the arrests could be as little as 38% more, to over 200% more, than was used in Oklahoma City. According to the Toronto Star newspaper, a harmless substance was substituted for the ammonium nitrate and delivered to the men by the RCMP in a sting operation.

Canadian ammonium nitrate suppliers have publicly stated that after the events of the Oklahoma City bombing, it has been their policy not to deliver any substantial quantity of the chemical to anyone who is not a known customer. As such it would be virtually impossible for someone who is not a commerical farmer to obtain possession of any quantity of the compound. It is therefore unlikely that the suspects could have ordered the compound without raising police suspicion in any case. Damage to the Murrah building before cleanup began. ...

In a press conference held after the arrests, the RCMP said that the CSIS had been monitoring the individuals since 2004, joined by the RCMP last year[7], and that the individuals had planned to blow up unidentified targets in southern Ontario. The suspects, all of adherents to Islam, were alleged by CSIS to have been inspired by Al-Qaeda[8]. A direct connection seems unlikely, as none of the suspects are known to be affiliated with the organization [9]. Canadian Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, was informed of the raids, as were other political, security and police leaders across Ontario. The investigation started with intelligence officials monitoring Internet chat sites. The suspects were charged under the anti-terrorism legislation passed by Canadian parliament in December 2001 in response to the September 11 attacks in the United States. The June 2 and 3 arrests were only the second time the legislation has been used, and marked one of the largest anti-terrorism arrests in North America.

Impact on Canada-U.S. relations There are concerns that this case could heighten American fears that Canada may be a "haven" for terrorists, and that it could complicate Canadian diplomatic efforts to prevent proposed increased border controls between the two countries. The arrests sparked several comments by politicians in the United States regarding the security of Canada, as well that of the United States. Congressman Peter King was reported on June 6 to have said that "There's a large al-Qaeda presence in Canada … because of their very liberal immigration laws, because of how political asylum is granted so easily."[18], without providing evidence to support his statement. On the same day, Representative John Hostettler of Indiana reportedly said that "South Toronto, like those parts of London that are host to the radical imams who influenced the 9/11 terrorists and the shoe bomber, has people who adhere to a militant understanding of Islam". Hostettler's comments were widely criticized in Canada, as there is no area of Toronto known as "South Toronto".

Reporting controversy The initial reports of this incident caused some controversy when a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer, Mike McDonell, described the arrested people as representing a "broad strata" of Canadian society and the Toronto Star claimed that it is "difficult to find a common denominator" among them, even though all were Muslims and many attended the same mosque. Some individuals in the media, such as Andrew C. McCarthy in National Review, have described this as a tendency of the police and media to whitewash a role of militant Islam in contemporary terrorism [21].
