The Editor,
Thanks to the quick action and co-operation between RCMP-led Integrated National Security Enforcement Team in B.C., CSIS, RCMP and other law enforcement agencies, a major tragedy has been averted from happening.
All of these agencies must be commended for preventing carnage in our provincial capital on Canada Day.
It is hard to imagine why two Canadian-born and bred suspects would allegedly plan to kill and injure innocent Canadians celebrating this country's birthday with a great deal of enthusiasm.
If these individuals are found guilty (and it should be noted they have only been charged and have yet to have a fair trial) this goes to show no community or country is safe from fanatics with twisted minds. Thank God the dedicated professionals charged with the safety and security of this nation and its citizens are pro-active, vigilent, alert and on the ball.
