TERRORIST PLOT BELIEVED THWARTED IN MONTREAL

CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — Customs officials at the Port of Montreal believe they have derailed a terrorist plot to export chemical weapons, the TVA network reported today.

The French-language television network said unidentified products used in the composition of chemical weapons were discovered in 60 cases destined for Britain in February.

An investigation into the matter is being carried out by customs and the RCMP.

During the last year, customs officers at the port have used special equipment to inspect 20,000 containers. Manual searches were also carried out on 6,500 containers.

Security has steadily been increased in Montreal and other Canadian ports to fight terrorism and drug smuggling.
