Suspicious package at Defence HQ2:35CBC News has learned that a suspicious package found Tuesday at Department of National Defence headquarters in downtown Ottawa contained no explosive material of any kind, and was never a threat to the public.
Ottawa Police said initial X-rays of the package showed what appeared to be wires, batteries and a dense material that could have been components for an improvised explosive device.
But sources close to the investigation say that when police destroyed the package to disable its potentially dangerous contents, they found no explosives or bomb-like devices.

Myanmar has beefed up security measures and tightened control over travelling visa after reports of possible terrorist attacks in the country, according to Min Aung, Police Lt. Col. of the Myanmar Police Force.
“We’ve been reported the terrorists are trying to enter the country and attempt bombing. So, we have ordered [regional police forces] to step up security measures. We must be always alert as they may wait for the chance to attack. Security has been tightened at the border checkpoints, too,” he said.
Indonesian terrorist Abu Bakar Bashir has recently called for a ‘jihad’ in Myanmar, rousing the mujahideens or the Islamic militants. This alerted the regional police to carry out necessary inspections in predominantly Muslim areas, Police Col. Hla Moe from Railway Police Department of Myanmar Police Force said.
“As the terrorists say they will wage jihad in Myanmar, we have to raise our security measures. We conduct inspections at the gates of and inside the city, said Mandalay Region Police Force’s Police Lt. Col. Tun Naing.

Sayed Mansour (L) and Ahmed Mohammed are suspected of belonging to a vast terror network planning to attack US, British and Israeli targets in KenyaA Kenyan court has found two Iranian men guilty of plotting to attack Western targets inside Kenya.
Ahmed Mohammed and Sayed Mansour were caught with 15 kilos (33 pounds) of explosives in the capital, Nairobi, last June.
They are accused of belonging to a terror network planning to blow up British, US or Israeli targets in Nairobi and the port city of Mombasa.
The pair, who deny all charges, face up to 15 years in prison.
Judges ruled that both men had been proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt of all terror-related charges.
Prosecutors said the suspects had explosives “in circumstances that indicated they were armed with the intent to commit a felony, namely, acts intended to cause grievous harm”.

Six Islamic extremists who plotted a bloody bomb attack on a far-right rally only failed because the gathering finished early – even though they were under surveillance, a court heard.
The group admitted planning a murderous attack at the English Defence League (EDL) event in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, when they appeared before a judge today.
Five members of the gang travelled to the rally with an arsenal of weapons – including a nail bomb which contained 458 pieces of shrapnel, a partially assembled pipe bomb, two shotguns, swords and knives.

Stephen Coughlin The motives behind the Boston attack and why the press will not tell you them
Please kick back, go to the highest resolution you can (the little gear at the bottom right of the video gives a menu and pick the highest number) and watch full screen. This is well worth the time. I might even say critically important. This will be a sticky post for a while and everything newer will be below.
Oh and if anyone here knows Justin Trudeau please get him to watch this. It clears up any ‘root causes’ issues.
FOX really doesn’t get it about Inspire and the bombs made by the jihadis.
The story is at the blaze. Yes, there may be, and likely are more people in this cell, but the fact that the detonators was not from the same issue of Inspire, the Al-Qaeda glossy magazine for aspiring terrorists, does not mean that this was not the source for the info on not only how to make a bomb out of a pressure cooker, but more importantly, when to strike, where to strike, and believe it or not, WHY to strike and this may not be as obvious as one may think. Or it is but there is also more too it to be more accurate.
With a little luck I might be able to post a new video tonight that has fantastic details on all this as well as what the near future likely holds for the West. If not tonight, soon.
Putin on Boston blasts: We suffered from terrorists, called ‘insurgents’ by West
Walid Shoebat has an interesting write up on this video here. I still find it sad that even Putin can’t say outloud what the motive for all this ‘terror’ is.
