International media attention has been focused on Canada since the arrest last Friday of 17 Muslims from the Toronto area who had purchased three tons of ammonium nitrate in an anti-terror sting operation, intending to use it to blow up prominent targets inside Canada. This case illustrates the terror threat from up North, both from suspects who enter Canada from abroad, (which has prompted some US intelligence officials to deride Canada, calling it “the aircraft carrier”, due to the ease with which terrorists take off and land in North America), and their own homegrown terrorists, exemplified by the suspects taken into custody last week.
It should be remembered that the border shared by Canada and the United States is 5,522 miles long, including 1,539 miles between Canada and Alaska (which is not manned at any point). It is known as “the world’s longest undefended border,” one that 275,000 individuals cross each day to enter the US.
