I might do a fuller version of this tomorrow but frankly it hardly seems worth the effort indugling it.
A week to the day after the Boston marathon bombings authorities in the
US' neighbour Canada have arrested two men who they claim were plotting
to derail a passenger train travelling between Toronto in Canada in New
York in the US. One of the men, Chiheb Esseghaier comes from Montreal in
French Canada while the other, Raed Jaser comes from Toronto in English
Canada. The crucial detail is that it is claimed the attack was being
planned by al-Qaeda members living in Iran.
As the plot crossed the US/Canada border the investigation also involved
members of the US FBI and members of the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS). Therefore the plot was clearly an attempt by Canadian
intelligence to convince their US counterparts that the Boston bombings
were also al-Qaeda attacks linked to Iran. This would then be used to
justify much tougher action against Iran in order to boost Saudi
domination in the post-Arab Spring middle-east. The Saudis are of course
close allies of the UK who are in turn close allies of Canada.
The fact that the plot involved the US/Canada border along with the fact
that Rihanna played two concerts in Toronto on March 18th (18/2/13) and
March 19th (19/3/13) and will play a concert in Montreal on May 1st
(1/5/13) means that it also gave the UK a chance to check up on up what
happened the last time Rihanna crossed into Canada and what is likely to
happen the next time. It also damages Rihanna's reputation by making it
harder for Rihanna to get the stink of the Boston bombings off her.
