| Report: El Al missile threat real |
| 2003-10-26 |
| JPost Reg Req’d The missile threat that diverted an El Al flight from Toronto to Montreal Thursday was gaining weight Sunday as Canadian police traced the origins and destination of a German-made rocket launcher. The Calgary Sun reported that the equipment found among 14 caches of weapons entered Canada at a postal plant between April 2001 and March 2003. Hmmm but aren’t gun control laws there really strict? Guess they don’t apply to the "special" asylum immigrants huh? The rocket shoulder launcher can be outfitted with heat-seeking missiles, and officials have said that a heat-seeking missile was to be used in the attack. The RCMP, Peel police and Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) agents are trying to trace the locally based threatening call, but are unsure if it was made from a pay or cellphone. Last week’s attack threat come three moths after a Croatian man made a bomb threat near an El Al ticket counter, and one month after a St. Catharines, Ont., man was charged for phoning in a bomb threat to Pearson Toronto - hotbed of pro-Paleo sentiment |

| #3 Oh Ontario's having PR problems alright. My grandma runs a Bed And Breakfast in Leamington, just outside of Windsor. Business this year has been a total wash-out. Every time that buffoon Chretien makes an appearance in the news, I seethe :( -Vic |
