Tories cite dismissed terror report to bolster case for more powers

The Conservative government on Thursday pressed for tougher anti-terror powers for police and spies by raising a U.S. news story dismissed by Canadian security sources.

OTTAWA—The Conservative government pressed its case Thursday for tougher anti-terror powers for police and spies by raising an alarming American news story dismissed by Canadian security sources.
 

NBC News reported Wednesday night that Canadian officials are concerned about potential Islamic State sympathizers threatening “knives and gun” attacks on “malls and embassies” here.
 

It was a stunning development, appearing on the American news outlet’s website just two hours after Canada’s top security and policing officials had testified in Ottawa they had no information of any “imminent” threat to Canada.
