Possible Al-Qaida leader captured in Newmarket, ON

This is big news.

According to today's Ottawa Sun, Raja Ghulam Mustafa, a suspected Al-Qaida 'captain' living just outside of Toronto, has been arrested just before fleeing to the US. After the arrest, a briefcase containing forged papers and a laptop were taken from his home. As far as I could see, no details as to how he was fingered were released and the same goes for what, if anything, he had be planning.

If this turns out to be true, if may just force all those who make all their foreign policy decisions under the assumption that terrorism was only a US problem to have to re-think their views.

As far as I can tell this story still hasn't been posted on either the CBC or CTV news sites, which I'm not sure is a good or bad thing.
