It seems that the wheels of justice, though they turn slowly, do turn. For all the concern, the criminal system works.
'Toronto 18' leader pleads guilty
Zakaria Amara relentlessly worked toward a goal of causing mayhem and mass casualties on Canadian streets

Toronto— Globe and Mail Update
Zakaria Amara, the 24-year-old Canadian mastermind of an al-Qaeda-inspired plot to explode truck bombs in downtown Toronto, entered a surprise guilty plea to terrorism charges in the so-called "Toronto 18" case this morning.
Mr. Amara pleaded guilty to two counts of terrorism.
He faces life in prison – prosecutors are unlikely to show any leniency.
He was presumed innocent during the three years he maintained a not-guilty plea. But his plea today may render the prosecution of related cases anti-climatic as the six remaining suspects head toward trial this winter.
...
His plea leaves only six other suspects who remain before the courts in the so-called "Toronto 18" conspiracy. The rest of the 18 suspects arrested three years ago have either been found guilty (five in total now) or had charges against them stayed (seven).

And we didn't even have to use Security Certificates, or send them to Syria for torture, or anything like that. Seems like just ordinary by-the-book policing was effective.
don't these people realize how much they harm islam in the west by their actions? what nutjob could honestly say God calls for killing innocent people? and was not this jerk portrayed as some kind of victim of entrapment? now he pleads guilty?
