Just In: Canada's Terror Attack Risk 'Elevated'

Read it all, for certain.


Canada faces an elevated risk of a terror strike, with Ottawa and Toronto among six North American cities in particular danger, says a report by a panel of international security experts.

In a global terrorism analysis by Chicago-based Aon Corp., one of the world's largest insurance and risk management firms, Canada is among 22 countries in which the threat rating for terrorism has been heightened for 2007 to an "elevated" status from the previous "guarded" rating.

(Note that it isn't political. These are serious professionals doing the analysis and rating)

"Looking at the terrorist organizations within Canada, their capabilities, their intentions, the various plots that have been stopped by security services, we increased the rating," said Justin Priestley, executive director of Aon Crisis Management in London.

The warning comes as Canadian and U.S. airport and border crossing security was upgraded over the weekend in response to the attempted terrorist car bombings in London and Glasgow.

Eww! Can't you just hear the gross sound of all those leftists suddenly placing their heads up inside their hineys?

Note to Ottawa residents in particular: Pay close attention now to that Jamaat ul Fuqra compound in nearby Combermere. After all, why would a compound reasonably known, from citizen observation, for automatic gunfire and explosives training activity be there in the first place? What other purpose...?
