Mounties Led to Terror Suspect by FBI Tip
The Mounties say it was a "race against time'' to identify and locate a would-be suicide bomber.
The RCMP says all they got initially in a tip from the FBI was a screen shot from a video.
The video itself later showed a man issuing vague but violent threats against Canada and Canadians.
Police confronted 24-year-old Aaron Driver as he left a home in Strathroy, Ontario and got into a waiting taxi.
An explosive device suddenly detonated, injuring the cabbie.
It's not clear if the blast killed Driver or he was hit by police gunfire.
