Canada 17: More Connections

Two of the men arrested in Canada, now known as the "Canada 17" were arrested in Buffalo New York in August 13, 2005. What did they do? Oh, well they apparently were trying to smuggle handguns into Canada by taping them to their bodies. You'll remember Buffalo as the location of one of the cells that were broken in the days just after 9/11.

Now, what would you boys need handguns for in lovely liberal progressive Canada?

Oh, and on the Georgia Tech angle? In October 2005, Explosive devices were fond near the campus. Is there a connection? well not yet, but its awfully interesting.

The most shocking thing about the Canada 17 is the fact that several of them are underage, meaning we dont know their identities, but this is not a new thing to the Canadian Jihadis. One of the most controversial inmates in Guantanamo is Omar Khadir. So what did he do? Well little Omar was picked up in Afghanistan by our troops. Apparently our troops dont take kindly to having hand grenades thrown at them.

Omar Khadir is controversial not because hes thrown grenades at troops in a war zone, but by the fact that he is 14 years old and not been shot dead on the battlefield, but is instead a detainee at Guantanamo Bay Cuba, and so his inlaw Abdurahman Khadr. More on Khadir family can be found here.

Oh, and where is he from in Canada? Vancouver? Ottowa? Nah, he's from Toronto.
