B.C. Terror Suspect Anxious Waiting For News Of Explosions In Victoria

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 19 Mar, 2015 02:46 PM

    VANCOUVER — A B.C. man accused of plotting to attack the provincial legislature on Canada Day appears anxious in an undercover video as he awaits news that his bombs have exploded.

    The trial for John Nuttall and Amanda Korody has heard that they planted pressure-cooker bombs on the lawn of the legislature in the early morning of Canada Day in 2013.

    The court is now listening to an audio recording captured as Nuttall, Korody and an undercover officer make their way to a Vancouver-area hotel, which will act as a safe house.

    In the recording, Nuttall complains that time is crawling along as he waits for the bombs to explode, which he expects to happen between 9 and 10 a.m.

    Nuttall says he expects 200 people to be killed and he says he has no regrets about what he's done.

    The trial has heard that the RCMP ensured the bombs were inert and could not explode.
