ALGIERS: A Canadian coordinated the attack on the In Amenas gas plant in the Sahara desert, Algerian Prime Minister Abdelmalek Sellal said on Monday.
“A Canadian was among the militants. He was coordinating the attack,” Sellal told a news conference.
Earlier, a security official said Algerian special forces scouring the plant following Saturday’s bloody end to the crisis found on the bodies of two militants documents showing them as Canadians.
Canadian reaction
Joe Lord-Jones has been looking into the Canadian reaction to the news that a Canadian or Canadians may have been involved in this week’s Algerian terrorist attack. The Algerian prime minister has said a Canadian “co-ordinated” the raid.
On the Globe and Mail website Dick Garneau commented:
Canada should adopt a law that says any Canadian who joins a war, uprising, resistance or conflict in foreign countries, not authorized by Canada should lose their Canadian Citizenship.
"Wisdom", writing on the CBC website, said:
Find out who their associates are and dig hard and fast. Find out if they have been influenced by a religious leader or family member(s) living in Canada and go after them hard and fast. Deport where there is adequate proof and publicize it. Zero tolerance.
He said hostages recalled one terrorist speaking English with a North American accent.

If this a$$ wipe immigrated to Canada legaly and then turned his back on this country by commiting an act of terror, he deserves to be hung without a trial as a civilian combatant. If the papers are forged, then just get rid of him and burry his sorry a$$ in an unmarket whole in the ground !!!edit on 21-1-2013 by Nuke2013 because: (no reason given)

Canadian Hockey is better than US Hockey and I am a Yank. Just my humble opinion.

A worrisome development, if true. I think most can agree that there's more to the Algerian (and Mali) story than meets the eye.
My question: why connect it to Canada? Assuming that all the AQ stuff is really propaganda and an excuse for colonization/intervention where desired, what's with the twist bringing the connection home?
Setting the stage for something at home I would expect..hopefully nothing more serious than a further erosion of civil liberties
On second thought, oh yeah, hockey's back on! Go Oilers! Civil what?

As a Canadian it shames me to be associated to a *coughs* man who has abused others under the name of MY FLAG.
I am a tolerant person but NOT for those that arive under the guise of political refuge who then wrecklessly inflict injury others with their 'hometown' beliefs. If your home countries beliefs are so awesome--go back there, I say. I truly tire of those who are ingenious to a constitution that they hide behind when it suits yet spit in the face of those that took them in by causing such a defamation and dire embarassment to the very citizenry he has chosen to represent.
