A terror attack potentially three times more devastating than the Oklahoma City bombing has been averted, the RCMP alleged Saturday.
...
RCMP Assistant Commissioner Mike McDonell announced the arrest of 12 Ontario men who were to appear in court later Saturday in Brampton, west of Toronto. The men ranged in age from 19 to 43, and are residents of Toronto, Mississauga and Kingston.
...
Commissioner McDonell alleged that the suspects were part of a homegrown terror cell intent on launching attacks against targets in Southern Ontario.
Police have recovered three tonnes of ammonium nitrate fertilizer in the raids. Commissioner McDonell noted that this amount was three times the amount used by Timothy McVeigh to destroy the federal building in Oklahoma City in 1995.
...
Media reports Saturday alleged that the suspects engaged in terror training camps north of Toronto. It was further alleged that the group was plotting to attack targets in Toronto, including the headquarters of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.

did you hear/read that they had a "training camp" in northern Ontario... at a cottage. They allegedly used it for planning and training (target practise on doors inside the cottage).
Looks like 6 were from Mississauga

not really that relevant, but it is widely speculated (with good reason) that the OK city bombing may have been staged by the us government as well.
one thing i can say for sure is that the "truck bomb" allegedy used by mcveigh wasn't nearly powerful enough to do that kind of damage to the building. so these attacks wouldn't really have been 3x worse than OK city.

Also, i heard on the news that they found out that these terroists arrested in Brampton/Mississauga were training to bomb the Prime Minister and the CN Tower
