Attacks Spur Canada Web Concern By Charles Mandel 2:00 a.m. Sep. 15, 2001 PDT 
TORONTO, Canada -- The Jewish group B'nai Brith Canada is calling for stricter regulation of hate-related material on the Internet following Tuesday's terrorist attacks in New York and Washington. The executive vice president of B'nai Brith Canada, Frank Dimant, alerted the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) in late August about a posting on a website that originated out of Montreal and invited people to join Afghani terrorist camps linked to Osama bin Laden, according to B'nai Brith Canada. Now, especially after media reports have suggested that Montreal and Halifax may have been meeting points for a number of the terrorists involved in the attack, B'nai Brith Canada is stepping up its efforts to get legislation passed to ban such Web activity. "It was a timely alert, wasn't it," said Dimant on Friday, although he stopped short of making a definitive link between the Web posting on islamway.com and Tuesday's attacks. "It's too early and too difficult for us to say that." |
