Canadian Police Arrest 17 In Plot To Bomb Ontario Targets...

Seventeen Canadian residents have been arrested and charged with plotting to destroy targets in Ontario with crude but powerful bombs and other terrorism-related offensives, the Canadian authorities announced Saturday.

At a news conference in the Toronto suburb of Mississauga, the police and intelligence officials said they had been monitoring the group for some time and moved in to make the arrests on Friday after its members took delivery of three tons of ammonium nitrate, a fertilizer that can be transformed into an explosive when combined with fuel oil.
