Canada Thwarts Terror Attacks

Officials in Canada announced Wednesday that they had prevented an attempted terror attack against the US Consulate and other buildings in Toronto’s financial district. Jahanzeb Malik, a 33 year old Pakistani man who has lived in Canada for over a decade, was arrested after attempting to recruit an undercover police officer into the plot. “I would like to confirm that CBSA has arrested an individual, a supporter of the Islamic State, who was allegedly planning a terrorist attack here in Canada,” Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney told reporters in Ottawa. “He told the undercover officer about his plan to build remote-controlled bombs to blow up the US consulate and other buildings in the financial district in Toronto,” the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada added.
