Two B.C. residents have been charged in an al-Qaeda-inspired Canada Day terror plot that involved pressure cooker bombs similar to the ones used in the Boston Marathon bombings.

Amanda Marie Korody, 30, and John Stewart Nuttall, 39, both of Surrey, B.C., have each been charged with conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, knowingly facilitating a terrorist activity and possession of an explosive substance.

My Comment: The city of Victoria (British Colombia) is one of the most beautiful cities in Canada ... if not the world. Regular readers of this blog know that I live in Canada (Montreal), so this type of news is deeply disturbing .... especially upon learning taht they had wanted to do it on our national holiday (July 1). Fortunately .... this plan was thwarted by Canada's intelligence agency and the RCMP.
