B.C. man accused in terror case wanted to be armed for Canada Day attack: trial

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 25 Feb, 2015 02:21 PM

    VANCOUVER — A B.C. man accused in a terrorism case appears in surveillance videos to be anxious to be armed with a gun for an alleged Canada Day attack at the provincial legislature.

    John Nuttall and his wife Amanda Korody were both charged in July 2013 after an RCMP investigation that captured hours of video and audio recordings.

    The videos have shown Nuttall and Korody developing their plan and discussing the details with an undercover officer, who they believe is an Arab businessman sympathetic to radical Islam.

    In the latest video played for the jury, recorded in a motel room on June 28, Nuttall curses as he tells Korody they must have guns before executing their plan.

    Nuttall appears angry that the supposed businessman hadn't yet obtained firearms, and he says he won't do anything without a gun.

    Previous videos have shown Nuttall repeatedly asking the officer to ensure they have automatic weapons, but the officer has not said whether that will happen.
