As Canadian as...

...wait just a freakin' minute...
A Canadian citizen living in Chicago has been charged in an assassination conspiracy targeting employees at the Danish newspaper that published cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in 2005.

Tahawar Hussain Rana, a 48-year-old Canadian citizen originally from Pakistan, was taken into custody Oct. 18, as more than 100 FBI agents raided his Chicago home, immigration consultancy, and slaughterhouse outside the city.

Charges that Mr. Rana used his immigration business as a front to disguise the travels of a would-be assassin were announced today by Patrick J. Fitzgerald, the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois.
