In Canada, RCMP thwart ‘major terrorist attack’

Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Riot Gear

Apparently, a major terrorist plot was thwarted in Canada today:

22 April 2013

The RCMP have arrested two people in connection with an alleged al-Qaeda-backed terror plot to derail a Via Rail passenger train.

CTV’s Ottawa Bureau Chief Robert Fife reported earlier Monday that the train the suspects were targeting would have been travelling from New York to Toronto, and the attack would have occurred on the Canadian side of the border. The RCMP would not confirm the targeted train’s route…

Canada’s authorities say they have arrested and charged two people with conspiring to carry out an “al-Qaeda inspired” attack on a passenger train.

At a news conference, the authorities said the suspects Chiheb Esseghaier, 30, and Raed Jaser, 35, were arrested in Montreal and Toronto on Monday.

They allegedly planned to derail a VIA passenger train in the greater Toronto area. It was not clear when. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-22258191

22 April 2013

Esseghaier and Jaser, who are not Canadian citizens but whose nationalities police did not disclose, are charged with conspiring to interfere with transportation facilities and conspiring to murder persons unknown for the benefit of a terrorist group.

The two men did surveillance on trains and railways in the GTA, police said, adding they are still executing search warrants related to the plot, which they said was in the planning stage. http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2013/04/22/suspects_in_toronto_terror_plot_arrested_sources.html

It is very good news if a major terrorist attack was truly thwarted, and it certainly sounds like one was. Canadian officials are well aware that their country is not exempted from terrorism, and apparently took pro-active steps to prevent what could have been a human disaster.

Of course, as far as terrorism goes, it was prophesied long ago:

14 ‘But if you do not obey Me, and do not observe all these commandments,
15 and if you despise My statutes, or if your soul abhors My judgments, so that you do not perform all My commandments, but break My covenant,
16 I also will do this to you:
I will even appoint terror over you, wasting disease and fever which shall consume the eyes and cause sorrow of heart.
And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
17 I will set My face against you, and you shall be defeated by your enemies.
Those who hate you shall reign over you, and you shall flee when no one pursues you. (Leviticus 26:14-17)

But it is good that some potential terrorists were apparently stopped.

Yet, like the USA, without national repentance, Canada itself doomed. Since Canada seems to be going more into sin nationally, that type of national repentance seems unlikely. Yet, personal repentance is still possible. Do you see the winds of change in the Canada and elsewhere?

If so, what do you plan to do about it?
