[....] Montreal, Quebec, Canada is a hub of activity for al Qaida and other Islamist groups--and has been so since the early 1990s. [Remember Palestinians, riots, Netanyahu visit, Concordia?]

[....] "Canada’s immigration controls are lax. Canada is a country that stopped funding port police. Only one in every 100 cargo shipments is ever inspected and Montreal is still the second largest inland port in North America."

[....] "Mr. Hammoud, also known as Amir Andalousi, took business-related courses at Concordia (University in Montreal), possibly from approximately 1993 to 1997, the official said." [See explanation of Andalousi in the article.]

[....] "Another media report said Mr. Hammond has two brothers, one studying somewhere in Canada and another employed in the United Arab Emirates."
