| Canucks nab Algerian passport artist |
| 2002-06-22 |
| Canadian anti-terrorism police have arrested a man suspected of helping militants who were planning to bomb the U.S. Embassy in Paris. Adel Tobbichi, 34, was arrested Friday in Montreal as the result of an extradition request from Holland. Tobbichi, of Algerian origin, is alleged by Dutch police to have altered passports and other documents and provided them to militants planning to bomb the embassy. Police were tipped off by another man who is currently being detained in Belgium. Tobbichi's residence was also searched. The arrest was made by the Integrated National Security Enforcement Team, which was set up in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Heh heh. Y'gotta watch those guys in the Great White North. Sometimes they only seem like they're hibernating. |
