Plans for Canada anti-terror unit found in garbage
Thu Mar 20, 10:05 AM ET
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada will probe how blueprints for the new headquarters of an elite military counter-terrorism unit ended up in a pile of garbage, Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day said on Thursday.
The Canadian Joint Incident Response Unit, housed inside an armed forces base in Trenton, Ontario, is designed to cope with the aftermath of an attack using weapons of mass destruction.
The 26 blueprints were contained in one of seven defense ministry files that a passer-by found on top of garbage bags on an Ottawa street. The other six files are still missing.
"We take this very seriously. So I want to hear first exactly what went on," Day told reporters, saying he had ordered his officials to examine the incident.
The plans -- which the passer-by handed to the Ottawa Citizen newspaper -- contain detailed drawings of the building's floor plan, electrical grid and the storage bay for robots designed to detect chemical and biological agents.

By far the funniest part about this whole thing is that Canada thinks they're relevant enough that Muslim extremists would even bother to bomb something there. Hell, the only way that Canada is even remotely involved in world terrorism is that Islamic loonies fly there from Europe, don't even bother to blow anything up while there, and then travel to the US.
I mean, here they tried to cripple the US economy by destroying the twin towers. How are they going to cripple Canada's economy...fly jets into the Molsen and Moosehead breweries?
