Canadian security forces thwarted a plot to blow up a rail line between Canada and the United States and will announce arrests on Monday afternoon, police and intelligence agencies said.

U.S. security and law enforcement sources also said the suspects had sought to attack the railroad between Toronto and New York City. Canadian media said two men had been arrested after raids in Toronto and Montreal, Canada's two biggest cities.

Canadian police are holding a briefing about a "national security criminal investigation" at 3:30 p.m. ET (1930 GMT).

The police statement, which gave no details of arrests, said various Canadian security forces had conducted joint operations in the two cities.

A U.S. law enforcement source told Reuters the alleged plot was not linked with last week's Boston Marathon bombings.

I don't know whether to be proud at the fact Canadian security forces did this or shake my head that the story had to include that Toronto and Montreal are Canada's two largest cities. The should be a no brainer for the country next door.

you would be surprised at how many people 'next door" think that Canada is in Russia, and that Texas is part of Mexico...don't take anything for granted!

I bet more people from Croatia could name the 2 largest cities in Canada.
Russia could, but they'd say "Leafs and Habs" instead of "Toronto and Montreal".

I didn't even know people actually lived in Canada. I thought there was only lakes to fish in and gold to mine

Good show Canada, more and more respect for you guys every day.

In fact, I think I have Canada as the #2 country I would like to live in IF I ever lose all hope on the U.S.....UK is still #1.

Good thing we're talking about Canada here....if the U.S found this, we'd have conservatives up and down screaming to invade Iran.
