Project Smooth: Canada Thwarts al Qaeda Plot to Blow Up Bus

Thank God. From Stuff.com:

Canadian security forces have thwarted a plot to blow up a [bus] between Canada and the United States, police and intelligence agencies say.

US security and law enforcement sources said the suspects had sought to attack the railroad between Toronto and New York City. Canadian media said two men had been arrested after raids in Toronto and Montreal, Canada's two biggest cities.

Canadian police are holding a briefing about a "national security criminal investigation" at 3.30pm (local time).

The police statement, which gave no details of arrests, said various Canadian security forces had conducted joint operations in the two cities.

A US law enforcement source told Reuters the alleged plot was not linked with last week's Boston Marathon bombings.
