Armed camp planned for northern Ontario

A group of young Toronto men were planning to harbour two Americans accused of terrorist activity and protect them by setting up an armed "Chechnya style resistance" in northern Ontario against law enforcement officials, a police informant who infiltrated the alleged local extremist cell said in a CBC news program.

Mubin Shaikh, a former army cadet and paid police mole, revealed last night on The Fifth Estate that he helped look for a safe house in Opasatika, Ont. for two Atlanta men who authorities say were planning a terrorist attack in the United States.

The U.S. Department of Justice claims that Syed Haris Ahmed and his friend Ehsanul Islam Sadequee, both from Georgia, spent a week in Toronto and met with the alleged members of the "Toronto 18." They have both been indicted on charges of providing material support to terrorists.
