Official: Thwarted plot targeted train to U.S.
Canadian authorities have arrested two men accused of planning to carry out an al Qaeda-supported attack against a passenger train traveling between Canada and the United States, a U.S. congressman told CNN on Monday.
"As I understand it, it was a train going from Canada to the U.S.," Rep. Peter King, R-New York, chairman of the counterterrorism and intelligence subcommittee, said.
The news follows an announcement earlier in the day by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police that they had arrested Chiheb Esseghaier, 30, and Raed Jaser, 35.
The two men are charged with "receiving support from al Qaeda elements in Iran" to carry out an attack and conspiring to murder people on a VIA railway train in the greater Toronto area, Assistant Police Commissioner James Malizia said.

Come off it now @Jeff.
Our law enforcement has done the same many a times in sting ops.
People complain when a plot is thwarted. People complain when it comes to fruition. This administration cannot win. It's a CANADIAN deal. Eye on the ball.
What do you do on a rainy night in Toronto?
I'm pretty safe in my corner of Canada. There's a private Islamic school a few blocks from my house. They wouldn't risk those students.
Lol @ Jeff, i just cant see fishing and expedition going together at all. But fishing sounds great!
Rightly said @ banasy.

These Al-Qaeda or taliban thugs don't care who they kill. More muslims have lost their lives at their hands than any other.
