Two men busted in Canada for allegedly plotting to attack a passenger train are appearing in court today. Canadian officials say the suspects, from Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates, were receiving support from Al Qaeda elements inside Iran. Iran has denied having any role in their alleged plot.
Brian Michael Jenkins, senior advisor to the president of the Rand Corporation, told Jon Scott on today’s Happening Now that authorities say they’ve been monitoring this plot since August and haven’t come across any evidence that would link it to last week’s Boston bombings.
