Cold Terror: How Canada Nurtures and Exports Terrorism Around the World |
| A Turkish diplomat is gunned
down in an Ottawa parking lot; a truck bomb destroys the business district of
the Sri Lankan capital Colombo; a plot to assassinate the Israeli prime
minister is uncovered in Jerusalem; a bomb destined for Los Angeles
International Airport is found stashed in the trunk of a car; an explosion
levels a crowded nightclub in Indonesia. The common denominator? All were the
work of Canadian-based terrorists. According to author Stewart Bell, Canada has allowed itself to become an important centre of world terrorism, a place where violent radicals raise money, buy weapons, recruit operatives, plan attacks and spread their hateful ideologies. |

A timely and well-researched book, Cold Terror tells the untold story of how Canada became a base for the world's deadliest terrorist organizations. Award-winning journalist Stewart Bell takes readers inside Canada’s secret terror networks, from the Armenian and Sikh groups of the 1980s, to the Tamil Tigers, Hezbollah and Al Qaeda. It also follows the trail of terror from Canada to countries such as Sri Lanka, Israel and Afghanistan to witness the carnage caused by made-in-Canada terrorism. Drawing on a vast collection of classified intelligence documents, the author’s frontline accounts from the war on terror and exclusive interviews with senior Canadian counter-terrorism officials, victims of terror and terrorists themselves, Cold Terror vividly presents Canada’s long-neglected terrorism problem – and its bloody consequences. Author Stewart Bell is a senior reporter at Canada’s National Post. An award-winning investigative journalist and foreign correspondent, he has been writing about terrorism and extremism since the late 1980s and has travelled on assignment to the Middle East, Europe, Africa and Asia. He is also the author of The Martyr’s Oath: The Apprenticeship of a Homegrown Terrorist. Written by Stewart Bell. Published by John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd., 2004. Released in softcover in 2005. |
