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

A lot of people belonging to that particular branch do live in Iran actually.
