[0:00] And if the allegations are correct, this
[0:02] is no smalltime local operation, but a
[0:05] ruthless band with connections to
[0:07] terrorist cells around the world and
[0:09] including the United States who were
[0:12] bent on taking over Canadian media
[0:14] outlets and beheading the Canadian prime
[0:17] minister. Our first report tonight comes
[0:19] from Cynthia Bowers, who is outside

[0:24] were brought into the courtroom in small

[1:10] and operations of what they call the
[1:11] terror cell. At its center is the
[1:14] alleged ring leader, 43-year-old Cayam
[1:16] Jamal. Even before his arrest, Jamal
[1:19] already had developed a reputation as a
[1:21] pied piper of sorts, delivering
[1:23] anti-Canadian sermons at a local mosque.
