On the plot, it appears the initial tip to police came from an Imam in Toronto.
Apparently the RCMP was ready to arrest both last year, but DHS asked for a delay to see if anyone else was involved. It seems pretty evident that the Boston bombing spooked everyone involved which is why the RCMP felt obliged to move on this quickly.
In other news, one of the suspects, Raed Jaser, is already represented by John Norris, one of the few canadian criminal lawyer who is an expert in terrorism cases. Interesting that his family was able to track down the best defence lawyer for the job in less than 10 hours.
