Ottawa Warns Iranian Embassy over Recruitment of Expats
(National Post-Canada) Kathryn Blaze Carlson - Canada's Foreign Affairs department issued a warning Tuesday to Iranian diplomats who are allegedly using their Ottawa embassy to recruit Iranian-Canadians to serve the Islamic Republic's interests. A spokesperson for Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said, "Canadian security organizations will act to prevent threats and intimidation of Canadians." Former Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) operative David Harris said, "The embassy is in and of itself a menace to public safety and our national interests; it should have been closed down yesterday."
