Raheem, who used different names, including Qasem and Abdul Kareem, said the training facility had to be relocated frequently due to security situation and military operations and the last course was conducted at Degan in North Waziristan. Raheem reportedly confessed that he had initially trained at the Al Qaeda-operated Al Farooq training camp in Khost in southeastern Afghanistan for three months and later moved to Takkhar in northern Afghanistan to fight alongside the Taliban.

Police have arrested 17 people, including five teenagers, on terrorism-related charges, a senior Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officer told a televised news conference in Toronto on June 3-morning, according to Dawn. All the men arrested were residents of Canada and most were Canadian citizens, said Mike McDonell, Assistant Commissioner of the RCMP. The 12 adults and five youths were reportedly of Pakistani and Bangladeshi origin. McDonell said it was a "home-grown terror cell intent on launching attacks against targets in Southern Ontario" which would have been more devastating than the Oklahoma City bombing. "This group presented a real and serious threat. They had the capacity and intent to carry out a terrorist attack," he added. Police said they recovered three tonnes of ammonium nitrate fertilizer, a quantity three times the amount used by Timothy McVeigh to destroy the federal building in Oklahoma City in 1995.

Canadian terror suspects arrested last week in Toronto had reportedly considered launching an aerial assault and may be tied to groups in the United States, Britain and Pakistan. The National Post newspaper said the Toronto-area suspects sought military training in Pakistan and may have asked a British man for help to arrange the schooling. Briton Abid Khan, aged 21, is said to have visited Canada in 2005 at the same time as two US terror suspects, Ehsanul Islam Sadequee and Syed Haris Ahmed, both in US custody, the newspaper said. The group “developed a plan for traveling to Pakistan where they would attempt to receive military training at one of several terrorist-sponsored camps,” the FBI said in the documents. Khan was arrested on June 6-night at Manchester airport upon his return from Pakistan. Globe and Mail, citing reports, said Khan, who was being interrogated by British police, may have lived with one of the Canadian suspects.
