VANCOUVER — An undercover RCMP officer warned a B.C. terrorism suspect against carrying a gun as he plotted an apparent plan to bomb the provincial legislature.
John Nuttall and his wife Amanda Korody were arrested in July 2013 after an undercover officer posed as an Arab businessman and offered to help the couple.
A B.C. Supreme Court jury has been shown videos in which Nuttall has repeatedly demanded the officer ensure he has a gun for the planned Canada Day attack.
In the latest video, Nuttall becomes agitated as he insists he must carry a gun, but the officer says that would be too risky.
The officer says carrying a gun would make Nuttall more likely to use it and that he will be armed so Nuttall and Korody don't have to be.
The video was recorded on June 28, 2013, as Nuttall and the officer pick up bomb-making supplies and discuss the plan, though Nuttall still hasn't settled on the specific details about how the attack will unfold.
