Amin Mohamed Durrani, had enrolled for flying lessons at a Toronto-area college but did not attend any of the classes.

Are they setting false trails? Sign up at venues under scrutiny, but never show up because they are planning something different?

Neither do I buy that they abandoned something because they had no knowledge of the location. It takes a very short time to learn a city's layout, in my experience. Especially with all the Internet maps available. If they were planning something on the capitol buildings, then they were dealing with a small segment of the city. How long would it take to set up and become familiar with escape routes from a city center?

IMO, this is all spin designed to get them off lightly and to undermine the victory for the intel security forces. I read similar attempts going on in the UK, along with the usual threats in both places that the Muslims will react badly to any of their people being arrested, charged or tried. After all, responding to any sort of attempt to harm anyone not Muslim is oppressive agression, isn't it? Will jury intimidation be next? Or will these be some sort of judicial trial?

What is the legal format in the UK and Canada? Jury trial or panel of judges?
