Anarchists bomb bank - threaten G8/G20

Back on May 1st we wrote about Anarchists and Black Bloc protest tactics and how some groups were preparing for the G20.

Canada has seen protests before and small riots before, but some groups are proclaiming that they are going to take things up a notch... and they set an example in Ottawa by fire bombing a bank accusing the bank of supporting the Winter Olympics (yes, this is now May and the Olympics ended in February) referring to the disagreements that some First Nations people had with the land claim issues in British Columbia.

Emergency planners for Huntsville and Toronto take note.

You can be sure that security planners are taking this threat very seriously... and you can be sure that a very small portion of the anarchists are looking for confrontation and will create it.

Here is a story on the Ottawa fire bombing.
