| Former Canadian soldier planned to behead Harper |
| 2006-06-07 |
| The terrorism suspect who allegedly plotted to behead the Prime Minister was a Canadian soldier for four years and likely received weapons training. The Toronto Star has learned that Steven Vikash Chand was a member of the Royal Regiment of Canada, a reservist unit that meets in Toronto. Chand, who later converted to Islam and went by the name Abdul Shakur, is charged with belonging to a terrorist group, receiving training and recruiting or training others to participate in terrorist activity. The charges partly involve allegations that Chand and eight other suspects spent five days last winter in a remote field in Washago, Ont., to participate in terrorist training. |

| #3 What's so exciting about a beheading? If I ever wanted to kill somebody a beheading would be way down the list. |

| #2 Spot, To be fair, he planned to behead the PM. The Canadian cavalry probably traded in their sabres years ago...unless he planned on beheading him with multiple rounds of .223 |

| #1 A soldier for 4 years and likely received weapons training?! Are there Canadian soldiers who don't receive weapons training? What idiot wrote this piece (of sh*t)? |
