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

Well sure they'd stop the plot!
Can't stop those Evil Northerners from bailing south.

We all know them people are the source of imigration problems here!

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.

That is exactly why things sometimes are done this way.
