"A terror attack potentially three times more devastating than the Oklahoma City bombing has been averted," according to the latest report from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Seventeen people have been arrested to date, and you can see a picture (below) of some of the items seized, as displayed in a news conference today. In addition to Jeff Imm's post below, you'll find excellent coverage on Michelle Malkin's site and at ThreatsWatch, where Steve Schippert notes that it was a Canadian intelligence Internet surveilance program that sparked the investigation into this group, not unlike America's own NSA program which is now under scrutiny.
Scott Newark, Canadian intel veteran who once worked for Steven Emerson, informs me that some arrests were near a nuclear power plant, and it's apparently one of the world's largest, which should really raise a few neck hairs. Here is a description of the plant:
Located on the shores of Lake Ontario just east of Toronto and nestled in the community of Pickering, is one of the world’s largest nuclear generating facilities consisting of the Pickering A and Pickering B Nuclear Generating Stations. Each station has four CANDU (CANadian Deuterium Uranium) reactor units and together they have a total output of 4,120 megawatts (MW), enough to serve a city of two million people.
oops.
Has anyone at FR been able to trace the prevailing weather patterns which the Toronto nuclear plants align with? ... Do the prevailing winds move over Lake Ontario and down to the lower 48 around New York and Penn?

I have no idea, I'm an Aussie, maybe this site will help?
