carry out an al Qaeda-supported attack against a passenger train traveling
between Canada and the United States, a U.S. congressman told CNN on Monday.
"As I understand it, it was a train going from Canada to the U.S.," Rep.
Peter King, R-New York, chairman of the counterterrorism and intelligence
subcommittee, said.
The news follows an announcement earlier in the day by the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police that they had arrested Chiheb Esseghaier, 30, and Raed Jaser,
35.
The two men are charged with "receiving support from al Qaeda elements in
Iran" to carry out an attack and conspiring to murder people on a VIA
railway train in the greater Toronto area, Assistant Police Commissioner
James Malizia said.
"When I speak about supported, I mean direction and guidance," he said. | b********s
