Anti-terrorism effort takes toll

In the wake of Monday's festivities in Diefenbaker Park, it is chilling to consider what sort of harm could be dealt to a peaceful nation such as Canada by the malevolence exposed in British Columbia this week.
The RCMP announced Tuesday that they had arrested two Canadian-born, self-radicalized terrorist suspects who they believe were bent on causing death and mayhem at the Canada Day celebrations in Victoria.
Many will have breathed a sigh of relief to learn that authorities had the two suspects under surveillance for months, that the suspects' bombs "were completely under (police) control, they were inert, and at no time represented a threat to public safety," as RCMP commissioner Wayne Rideout explained, and that Canadians are being protected by the Mountie-led Integrated National Security Enforcement Team that has the technology and authority to track such persons.
