Even in Canada: a high-profile government sting that targeted 24 South Asian men has set off national controversy and a vibrant, immigrant-led defense.(Feature)
Early on the morning of August 14, 2003, 24 South Asian men awoke to the sound of their doors getting smashed in. Through a sting operation known as Project Thread where Canadian intelligence agencies sought out potential terrorist cells, police stormed into their apartments and threw everyone inside on the ground. Vans whisked all 24 to the maximum-security Maplehurst Detention Center. No one was allowed to call a lawyer. Meanwhile, reporters and politicians blared that an "Al-Qaeda sleeper cell" had been found with plans to bomb a nuclear power plant or explode a dirty bomb into the city.
