Via CTA: Al Qaeda's Saudi wing is calling for attacks on all oil suppliers to the United States, listing Canada among its targets.Heh, they threatened Hugo too. Ironic isn't it?In a message posted on its website, the al Qaeda Organization says Canada's oil and natural gas facilities should be attacked in order to "choke the U.S. economy."
"It is necessary to hit oil interests in all regions which serve the United States not just in the Middle East. The goal is to cut its supplies or reduce them through any means," reads the posting on the organization's Arabian Peninsula e-magazine.
"We should strike petroleum interests in all areas which supply the United States ... like Canada."
Canada is the main supplier of both oil and natural gas to the U.S. Mexico and Venezuela are the other western nations singled out in the group's call to arms.

But seriously we need to beef up the security and survivability of the lines of energy flow between the two countries. Canada also supplies a lot of (hyro)electric power to the U.S. from Quebec and elsewhere.

Hucbald: "Thanks for being US allies in Afghanistan."
Burly Canadian enlisted guy with wrists as thick as my neck:
"Hell, we're just happy you invited us to the party."

Case in point, their thwarted attempt last year at attacking locations in Toronto and Ottawa.
