This is unexpected -- and gives weight to the terrorist threat to Canada -- a threat, apparently, coming from Canadians. Of course, remember Air India and the FLQ. Canadian terror is not new.
Toronto man admits to terror plot in surprise plea
KIRK MAKIN Globe and Mail
A young Toronto man – Saad Khalid – has pleaded guilty to aiding a terrorist plot to build bombs to explode in the city's downtown core.
In a dramatic and sudden move, Mr. Khalid became the first adult from amongst the so-called Toronto 18 to admit playing a role in a plot that was allegedly inspired by al-Qaeda and intended to create international publicity for the terrorist cause. The dramatic development took place on Monday morning in a near-empty Brampton, Ont., courtroom.
It was so sudden and cloaked in secrecy that the courtroom was empty but for one reporter and four apparent family members of supporters – including a middle-aged woman who wept as Mr. Khalid was led away after his plea.
Mr. Khalid pleaded guilty to a single count of participating in a terrorist organization, "with the intention of causing an explosion or explosions that were likely to cause serious bodily harm or death," or to damage property. The charge specifies that Mr. Khalid was acting in support of other conspirators whose names are subject to a ban on publication.

PSYOP
The whole thing was a government operation, with TWO RCMP provocateurs.
Without that, there would have been no 'terror cell' and no bomb plot.
The fact is the cops never could produce the fertilizer that was supposed to be the crux of the bomb case.
They went and bought a bag at a garden shop, that is their 'evidence'.
Is PSYOP for real? Obviously did not read the article where THE ACCUSED HIMSELF PLEAD GUILTY.
You're right on point Morton: this terror conspiracy WAS in fact real.
I don't know about provocateurs but I do know about that Sheikh guy who was the police agent. Last I heard he was cleared of any wrongdoing in the case.
