Accused B.C. Terrorists John Nuttall Planned Distraction Bombing In Victoria Strip Club: Trial

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 09 Apr, 2015 11:52 AM
    VANCOUVER — A B.C. court has heard that a man accused of plotting to blow up the provincial legislature proposed setting off explosives in a strip club washroom as a distraction from the main event.
     
    In video played for a jury, John Nuttall is seen telling an undercover officer that his plan would avoid targeting women and children.
     
    His wife and co-accused Amanda Korody says in the recording that kids don't frequent strip bars and that hookers turning tricks in the men's washroom would be the only women killed.
     
    Nuttall grows excited when Korody suggests they plant the bombs in the drained water tank of a toilet and calls her the rock upon which he stands.
     
    The video taken in June 2013 is part of an elaborate police sting that culminated in the couple's arrest on Canada Day.
     
    Both Nuttall and Korody have pleaded not guilty to four terrorism-related charges.
