Terrorist Given Largest Center in History

Zakaria Amara, the mastermind behind the 2006 plan to bomb Toronto was in court yesterday.The man was inspired by the events which occurred on September 11th, 2001. Mr. Amara's goal was to build truck bombs and blow them up in downtown Toronto. His hope was to shock Canadian's and have the troops pulled out of Afghanistan. The RCMP had been surveying him for months before they made their arrests, and were paying a couple Muslim men on the inside millions to infiltrate. Mr. Amara built prototype detonators as he inspired young acolytes and tasked them with obtaining bomb ingredients. His plan was to make truck bombs, and blow them up outside: The Toronto Stock Exchange, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service office, and outside the Canadian Forces Base, Trenton. Mr. Amara could be on parole as early as in six years! A couple of his affiliates were caught unloading fertilizer out of a truck and given 14 years in prison.

          I think that it is absurd that the mastermind behind this terrible plan was given such a short time in prison, while the others who were just new recruits were given fourteen years! I do not understand this at all. It seems quite ridiculous that he was not given any longer.
