Terror suspects arrested in Canada

Police in Canada have arrested and charged 12 men who they say were planning an al-Qaeda-inspired bombing campaign in and around Toronto. Five other youths have also been charged, following an investigation involving more than 400 officers. Police seized bomb-making materials in a series of raids in Toronto, including three tons of ammonium nitrate. According to the BBC, officials said the group posed a real and serious threat with the capacity and intent to carry out these attacks. Fifteen of the suspects appeared in a heavily guarded courtroom in Brampton, a Toronto suburb, on Saturday.
