Terrorism in Canada

This is a fascinating account of an Ottawa women who became a financial conduit for terrorists looking to strike in Britain.

Khawaja is accused of designing the cellphone detonator that the Britons were allegedly planning to use to ignite 600 kilograms of ammonium nitrate.  After they met in person, she was told he needed her to send money.  "He said it had to be a woman because sisters don't get caught -- brothers get caught if they send money," she said in her statement.Over the next few months, she sent thousands in cash as well as a debit card for a bank account which, prosecutors say, was later used by the British suspects.
