FBI: Canada Terror Case May Have Georgia Tie
Posted: 11:45 pm EDT June 3, 2006
TORONTO, Canada -- The FBI said Saturday there might be ties between 17 terror suspects in Canada and two men from Georgia.
The 17 suspects are jailed on charges of planning attacks on several targets in Ontario.
FBI officials say some of the Canadian suspects may have had limited contact with Georgia Tech student Syed Ahmed, 21, and Ehsanul Sadeqee, 19, of Roswell.
The two were arrested in April and a federal affidavit says they met with Islamic extremists in Canada last year.
Both have pleaded not guilty to federal charges.
The suspects in Canada include five teenagers. All are described as being influenced by al-Qaeda.
Authorities displayed items seized during the arrests. They included three tons of ammonium nitrate, triple the amount used in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.
