TORONTO --
SNIPPET: "The so-called Toronto 18 eventually split into two groups after the leaders had a falling out. One thing the groups still had in common was a misdirected paranoia.
They worried they were being watched by the authorities, but little did they know two of their trusted confidants were police agents.
At one meeting one of the plotters instructed a man who was actually an RCMP agent to take the battery out of his cellphone so their conversation couldn't be intercepted.
Another plotter gave an agent a test to see if he was a spy. He passed."
SNIPPET: "CSIS had been monitoring Amara and Ahmad for years because of anti-western Internet chatter."

TORONTO —
SNIPPET: “The RCMP began to investigate Ahmad and Amara for terrorist activities around that time after being advised by CSIS that they posed a threat to the security of Canada.”
SNIPPET: “Like so many other trusted allies and pivotal parts to their plans, everything was not as it seemed. The person they rented the storage unit from was an undercover police officer.”
SNIPPET: “As with many mass arrests some have been let go — charges were dropped or stayed against seven people — but the core group remains. Amara, Ahmad, Abdelhaleem, Dirie, Khalid, Gaya, Chand, and Ansari are behind bars.
James, Durrani and Yogakrishnan were convicted but have already been released from prison.”
