Lawyers for bombing suspects want bail hearing postponed Last Updated Tue, 06 Jun 2006 07:44:16 EDT CBC News Lawyers for suspects in an alleged bomb plot in Ontario want to postpone Tuesday's bail hearing because they have not had enough time to prepare. <http://www.cbc.ca/gfx/images/news/photos/2006/06/06/suspects-arrive060606.j pg> The accused arrive at the courthouse in Brampton on Tuesday under the watchful eye of a heavily armed police officer. (CBC) Fifteen of the 17 suspects arrived at the Brampton courthouse in unmarked police vehicles, under the watchful eye of armed guards patrolling the area. Although the court appearance was expected to be a bail hearing, Rocco Galati, a lawyer representing two of the suspects, said he wants to set another date. He said he and other lawyers have not seen any evidence and have not been able to speak to their clients. Security was tight at the courthouse but appeared somewhat scaled back compared with the first court appearance of the suspects on Saturday. During that appearance, snipers could be seen on rooftops and heavily armed police officers were posted inside and outside the courtrooms. Scores of media from both Canada and the United States lined up at the courthouse Tuesday to secure a spot in the courtroom. Family members of the suspects were met by throngs of reporters as they entered. The 12 adults and five youths were arrested on the weekend in a series of raids that came as part of the largest operation carried out under Canada's Anti-terrorism Act. All the adult suspects face terrorism-related charges. Police allege the accused were inspired by al-Qaeda and planned to make bombs to attack targets in Ontario. None of the allegations has been proven in court. The 12 men have been charged with knowingly participating, directly or indirectly, in the activity of a terrorist group. Activities around Toronto area Those charges relate to activities in Mississauga, Ont., Toronto and the Township of Ramara, which is located about 150 kilometres north of Toronto. On Monday, six of the men were also charged with planning to cause a deadly explosion. Three of the suspects have been charged with importing firearms and prohibited ammunition, and supplying prohibited weapons. Ten of the men are charged with engaging in terrorism-related training. Residents in Ramara reported hearing gunshots from an area where men were seen dressed in camouflage gear. As many as 400 police officers and security officials were involved in the arrests [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
