Globe and Mail Update

Police have thwarted a terror attack that had the potential to be three times more devastating than the Oklahoma City bombing, the RCMP alleged in a press conference Saturday.

RCMP Assistant Commissioner Mike McDonell announced the arrest of 12 adults and five young offenders that have been alleged to have been part of a terror group intent on launching attacks against targets in Southern Ontario.

"This group presented a real and serious threat. They had the capacity and intent to carry out a terrorist attack," said RCMP Asst. Commissioner McDonell.

Media reports Saturday alleged that the suspects engaged in terror training camps north of Toronto. It was further alleged that a group were plotting to attack targets in Toronto including the headquarters of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.

Police said that the group had in its possession, three tonnes of ammonium nitrate fertilizer. 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.
