Be interested in learning why the RCMP feels that it was an "al Qaeda-supported attack".

You probably won't. That info would indicate their methods to "the enemy" and might impact other or future investigations. I heard on the news that FBI and Homeland were involved too.

Then James Malizia should keep his yap shut and not make official statements to the press about it.

eventually they will have to tip their hands in court.

It appears to have been a joint RCMP and CSIS operation, apparently the suspects had been followed for over a year.

apparently one of the suspects was planning to travel out of the country which precipitated the arrests.

The RCMP spokesman said the suspects were receiving support from Al-Qaida based in Iran.

They've released police sketches of the suspects

Watching danish news right now and they are talking about a connection to Iran.

Wondering what will happen, if there is a connection between the two person and Iran.

They should have recieved instruction from Al-Quada in Iran

Unlikely. Al-Quada is firmly in the Sunni branch of Islam. The Iranian regime is Shia.

Right after I wrote my post I heard an expert to Iran who also said it was very unlikely, but he could not refuse that it couldn't be so

Oh no, connecting a terrorist attack to Iran, no doubt we'll need to bomb them, maybe take out some nuke reactors why we're at it.

Ye, but the link is being made to Iran not the Iranian regime.

More info on Al Qaida in Iran. It seems that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" best describes their relationship.

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.

There is a huge difference between someone getting support from someone IN Iran and getting support FROM Iran.
