An Al Qaeda-linked terror plot was unearthed by Canadian security agencies Wedn-esday, with one of the suspects reportedly hailing from India. Under what is curiously called “Operation Samosa,’’ the Royal Canadian Mounted Police arrested two suspects on Wednesday.
One of them is said to be named Misbahuddin Ahmed who reportedly comes from India. A search for more suspects is on. It is the second Al Qaeda-linked terror plot to be unearthed in Canada after the Toronto-18 plot of 2006 in which 18 Toronto-area Muslims were arrested for plotting to blow up Canadian targets, storm Parliament, take leaders hostage and behead the Prime Minister. Eleven of these plotters were convicted. —IANS
