25 sentenced for planning attacks on the Eiffel Tower

"Prosecutors at the six-week trial, which ended last month, said that the group was planning to hit the Eiffel Tower, Les Halles underground shopping centre, police stations, and Israeli interests. The group, which was under police surveillance, was close to preparing its action at the end of 2002 when officers raided homes on housing estates in Romainville, la Courneuve and other suburbs. They found electronic devices and chemicals that could be used for bomb-making as well as a chemical protection suit, a large sum of cash and false identity papers."

" Toronto missed an opportunity to keep on top of the youth gang problem when its model street crime units were disbanded about a decade ago, a retired gang cop said.

And to get back on track, governments will have to ante up "big bucks" to counter street gangs.

"The warning signs were there," said John Muise, a retired detective who had been assigned to the 5 District Street Crime Unit.

While saying the anti-gang units wouldn't have outright stopped the gangs, Muise said they would have given police a better ability to counter their growth."

So how's BRE-X coming along? Over 10 years and still no National Securities Commission.........

"Canada currently has 10 provincial and three territorial financial regulators - 13 regulators for a country of 30 million people. Canada is the only G10 country without a national authority, even though most of those states have economies far bigger than ours.

What do we get for all that duplication and self-confinement? Solid protection from corporate fraud and abuse? Better investments? Cheaper services? Hardly."
